Committees

In addition to the other events and activities sponsored by the PTO, there are several more committees who enhance the educational and social experiences of our students.

Bulletin Boards

Bulletin Boards at the entrance to the school welcome visitors and are themed including “What’s New” highlighting the year’s activities and the school’s special events, such as Spirit Week.  Other bulletin boards are updated monthly to recognize student birthdays. Please contact boards@gmspto.org for more information.

Corporate Sponsorship Chair

This committee helps foster relationships with local businesses through the coordination of corporate sponsorships. Email corporatesponsorship@gmspto.org with questions, if you would like to become a corporate sponsor, or visit the corporate sponsorship page on our website.

Community Chair

The role of this chair is to bring the families and parents/guardians of students together for social gatherings with the sole purpose of fostering a space for connection, relationships and community to be built. They organize the kindergarten playdates for new kindergartners, share community events, and publicize the Walk, Bike, Roll to school day. Email community@gmspto.org with questions. 

Grizzly Gear

The PTO sponsors a spirit wear order at the beginning of every school year to allow families to purchase Grace McWayne Grizzlies shirts, sweatshirts and other items.  Please contact gear@gmspto.org for more information.

Newsletter

 Each week, a newsletter is sent out in conjunction with a message from the principal to share important information with the families of Grace McWayne. The Newsletter chair compiles information from committee chairs and the PTO Board to send out each Friday. Any items to be included should be emailed to newletter@gmspto.org by the previous Friday.

Social Media

 The PTO utilizes our Facebook group Grace McWayne PTO News & Events and GMS.PTO on Instagram to share important information about upcoming events with the school community. If you have something to share with the community at large, submit a post for approval. If you have any questions, email socialmedia@gmspto.org.

Yearbook

The yearbook is a compilation of all the student and staff portraits taken in the fall and highlights many of the special activities throughout the school year.  Montage pages are created using candid photos, room parent celebration photos, and informal playground/class pictures.  Photographers are needed throughout the year.  Volunteers are needed to help with layout.  Please contact yearbook@gmspto.org for more information. Photos will be requested by event to be uploaded to a shared folder.
