Calling all 5th Grade Parents!!!
The three elementary school PTGs are hosting an end-of-the-school-year pool party for the 5th graders on Sunday, June 4th at the Oxford Aquatic Center from 6 PM to 8 PM and we need parent volunteers to help us plan! If you are interested in helping, please send an email to KramerPTG@gmail.com! We cannot wait to celebrate our 5th graders before they head to TMS next year!
Join the Kramer Parent Teacher Group!
The Kramer PTG is looking for some new members to serve on our board and as always, we encourage members of the Kramer community to attend our meetings.
What is the PTG? It is a formal organization that consists of parents, teachers, and school staff.
And what is it that the Kramer PTG does? Our top goal is to support the Kramer community. Attending PTG meetings can be a great time to learn about all that is going on at Kramer and in the PTG. However, you can help by volunteering in a variety of ways. Whatever form of volunteering, it doesn’t need to be a large time commitment. We welcome volunteers in all shapes and sizes. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, May 2nd at 7 PM at Kramer.
We are looking for volunteers to fill the following roles: Volunteer Coordinator and Events Coordinator. The Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for working with our community partners (Miami University, and other organizations) to recruit volunteers to help us successfully run our events. The Events Coordinator oversees the Events the Kramer PTG runs each year; each event typically has a chair. The Event Coordinator will work with each event chair to ensure we are on schedule and budget while creating a fun and rewarding event! If you have any questions about either of these positions or the PTG in general, please email us at KramerPTG@gmail.com.
