SCARECROW FUNDRAISER
The Sea Girt PTO will be selling Scarecrows this year through the PTO Website. The scarecrows will be available for $25.00 in a limited quantity for a PTO Fundraiser. We will deliver to your door for you to decorate. We ask that each family and others in the community purchase one and dress or decorate it in the style of your choice. It will be fun to see how each family decorates their scarecrow in traditional and nontraditional outfits. We have worked with the school and we will be able to display them around the fence line at the Elementary School Campus. The scarecrow purchase is available online NOW at https://www.seagirtpto.com. Please continue to support the efforts of the Sea Girt PTO and take part in this fun event.
GET INVOLVED
The Sea Girt PTO works with a core group of dedicated volunteers and families to carry on the mission. This year’s PTO has planned and organized most of the years functions and events to benefit the school and the students.
NOW is the time if you are interested in keeping the PTO active and moving in a positive direction to get involved. The PTO Board has some open positions for the upcoming year. If you are interested you should be involved, helping or volunteering NOW.
No donation of time, support, organizing or volunteering is too small. Keep the momentum moving and get involved in your PTO for the benefit of the students and the Sea Girt Elementary School.
SEA GIRT ARTISAN MARKET-COMMUNITY REQUEST
The Sea Girt Artisan Market is almost full and ready for another great show. Each year we have baskets and a couple of large donated items. The baskets and the large items not only bring people from afar but also bring in a lot of money for the PTO and this event.
We are appealing to the community at large and looking for donated or at cost large ticket items. Some prior examples are bicycles, surfboards, game tickets, boat rides, rented house, etc. If you or someone you know is willing to donate to this cause and the single biggest revenue generator for the PTO, please reach out to either myself Leanne Hoffmann at lrh@atlanticconsultingengineers.com or Michele Gilmore at MicheleAGilmore@gmail.com. The PTO really appreciates your continued support.
The Sea Girt PTO Artisan and Craft Market is fast approaching. Mark your calendars for November 23rd and 24th stop by and get a fresh look. If you are interested in volunteering for this event please contact any one of the PTO Board Members.

The PTO thanks all the families for their continued support in moving forward all the activities and fundraisers throughout the year. Without the support of the administration, faculty, staff and families we could not meet our goals and carry forward our mission.
The PTO utilizes digital channels to help enhance our communication. Here are the many ways you can keep up with PTO activities:
