News from the President

Welcome Back SLE Families!

10/7/2017

 
When I became the PTO president, my priority was to build a community within SLE that connected parents, teachers and administrators in a meaningful way.  There was already a dedicated group of parents that would pitch in and make things happen.  But we had bigger dreams...we dreamed of a PTO that served it's community with events and activities that created a strong neighborhood foundation for our children.  We needed more people and those people had to be committed to serving and leading.  We started small...each of those dedicated parents quietly encouraging other parents to come to meetings or volunteer for events.  

Each year we gather together as a community to support the students and staff of Savannah Lakes Elementary.  Each year the PTO asks parents to fundraise, participate, and get involved.  Each of the last three Septembers, more and more parents step forward to volunteer their time and expertise. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support our PTO group gives to the students and staff at SLE.  You all are amazing!  None of the fantastic things we have accomplished would be possible without you.

  • ​In 2015-2016 we raised $17,000 to install a track at SLE that is used every single day!
  • ​In 2016-2017 we raised $30,000 to install shade structures over the two large playground pieces that will have a drastic impact on temperature at recess.
  • We have fully funded field trips for all SLE students for the last 2 years...that's 1900+ excited kids getting to experience the best things greater Houston has to offer!
  • We have sponsored a special 5th grade t-shirt and party to celebrate the students matriculating into junior high.
  • We sponsor the inflatables used during Buddy Day.

​You make these and many more events and activities happen and we are so grateful for your support!  Thank you all!
