About the PTO
The Soldotna Montessori PTO is our school’s organization for helping and supporting the school with events, and fundraising efforts. We encourage all parents to consider participating as part of the PTO.
SMCS Parent Participation
The Soldotna Montessori PTO is dedicated to supporting SMCS through events and fundraising. We need your help! To make participation easy and flexible, we’ve organized opportunities based on the impact you want to have.
Every family can find a fit, whether you’re able to plan, work an event, or contribute from home. Key ways to participate include:
Behind-the-Scenes Support (The Specialists):
Spreading the word, donating supplies, or using a professional skill.
In-Person Work Shifts (The Hands-On Helpers):
Assisting with events, setting up, or preparing materials.
Planning (The Vision Builders): Attending meetings to plan or lead projects.
Leadership (Executive Council): Take on a board role.
