This will include, but is not limited to supporting AGMS in its mission; promoting communication and mutual respect among parents, faculty and administration; supporting the educational and social objectives of AGMS through PTO-sponsored programs; providing direct financial support to AGMS through organized fundraising events; providing financial assistance to programs that directly impact teachers and students; organizing community-building events. The PTO was looking for ways to increase the outdoor time for students at our middle school by providing them with the ability to eat their lunches outside as well as build an outdoor class area. Eating outdoors improves mental and physical health by reducing stress and anxiety and boosting mood. Exposure to the outdoors has also been shown to increase creativity and concentration and improve socialization skills. The accomplish our goal, the PTO installed metal picnic tables outside the cafeteria which students can use for lunches and tables in a central courtyard to give teachers a place to take students for outdoor study time. 0 13032 The PTO of Avon Grove Middle School is dedicated to helping students grow using team building activities. Students can learn and expand their communication skills, take leadership roles, engage in problem-solving, and collaboration with others. Each of our schools nine teams (three teams per each of the three grades) as well as our guidance department are given a team budget they can use throughout the school year to enhance the curriculum. 0 1639 Teacher and staff appreciation meals provide an opportunity for students and parents to thank the educators and staff who work so hard to educate our children and make our schools a better place. During school conferences teachers must extent their days into the evenings to meet with parents and families and twice a school year we are able to provide the 155 teachers and administrators with a hot, nutritious meal to support them on the long days. Additional meals and lunches are provided for teachers and support staff during the winter holiday months giving teachers and staff an opportunity to spend holiday time with their coworkers strengthening their bonds and comradery. 0 2168 16839 Joy Fox President 20 0 0 0 Brittany Clark Vice President 20 0 0 0 Carrie Milano Secretary 10 0 0 0 Loni Moore Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Traci Scorsone Assistant Treasurer 10 0 0 0 X 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Traci Scorone 257 State Road West Grove PA 19390 6105297691 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 180 0 0 470 655 1305 22477 9063 20426 17775 59163 128904 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22657 9063 20426 18245 59818 130209 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 130209 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22657 9063 20426 18245 59818 130209 1 1 0 0 X Boosterthon 38222 0 38222 0 0 0 0 0 16371 Hershey Park Tickets 6372 0 6372 0 0 0 0 0 5274 3 8956 0 8956 0 0 0 663 0 816 53550 0 53550 0 0 0 663 0 22461 23124 30426 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Description;Amount^Acme Give Back Rewards Program;57|Box Tops for Education;23^Total;80^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Teacher and staff appreciation meals;2168|Field trip transportation;3000|Staff t shirts;2363|Team and guidance activities;1639|Life Skills;450|Capital project add outdoor eating area for students;13032|Administrative and technology expenses;1057|Professional services;500^Total;24209^ Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 34 The organization changed its name from Fred S Engle Middle School Parents Teachers Organization to Avon Grove Middle School Parents, Teachers Organization to align with a change made by the school our organization supports.
