PTO

The PTO is composed of school parents, school staff, the pastor, and the principal. The objective is to encourage high family and community life standards and includes fundraising, providing services and programs, and supporting the faculty and staff. Every family member is a PTO member and is encouraged to attend the monthly meetings held on the second Tuesday of each month.

Scrip stands for substitute money. Good Shepherd families buy the certificates for full face value, then redeem them full face value. The listed rebate is split between the PTO and the family purchasing the cards. You earn money for Good Shepherd and yourself without spending a single additional penny. Rebates are returned at Check-in Day the following year. Watch the school newsletter for SCRIP turn-in days.

We are still absolutely blown away with the fantastic job that all the students did fundraising for Dance-a-thon. We raised more than $47,500 to for much needed Fund-A-Need items to support our awesome school.**

We had >86% student participation in raising pledges with more than 75% of all pledges received through our new online pledge system, PledgeStar! We also had an incredible participation in the raffle raising more than $5000! And more importantly, we had an AWESOME in-school Dance-a-thon.

** Fund-a-Need items include: Leader in Me Programming (Curriculum for all K-8 students), Technology Supplies for the Innovation Lab including Robot Lab Virtual Reality Packs, a 3-D Printer, and 3-D Pens & Supplies, Essential Classroom Updates such as new carpet and new Smart Boards as needed, Stage Lighting, AND…. a RAMS Mascot Costume!
