goal, simply stated is creating a better school and a better educational experience for our children. We
strive to create an atmosphere where teachers, administrators, and support staff can do their best work,
enabling our children to do theirs. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change
the world.” ― Nelson Mandela

PTO to assist the RoMS community by filling needs not addressed through appropriated funding, and by
sponsoring special projects that add value to the RoMS community throughout the school year. We
always need the help of RoMS parents as volunteers to make this happen, and look forward to your
participation. Some of our current fundraising activities include:
1. Selling Spirit Wear, Pom-Pom’s, and Holiday Hawk Ornaments.
2. “Hollers for a Dollar”
3. Spring and Fall Fundraisers.
e. Spirit Wear Sales and Availability: Spirit Wear is normally ordered once a month, although some items
will be available for sale at school events such as the Open House, Parent Teacher Conferences, etc. Our
arrangement with the vendor does require, however, a minimum combined order of 36 to submit for
processing, so we wait until we have that many confirmed orders before submitting to the vendor. Spirit
Wear order forms are available for download on the PTO Website and are accepted anytime until the
end of the school year. If the Spirit Wear item you order is in stock, it is normally delivered to your child
at school within a few working days. If the item is not in stock, processing may take up to three weeks to
complete.
f. PTO Membership: We invite all RoMS Teachers and Parents to please join the PTO for a nominal one-
time fee of only $5.00 per family. Forms are available for download on the PTO Website and attached.
Teachers/ faculty will receive a membership sign to post outside their classroom door announcing their
affiliation with the RoMS PTO. Families will receive a coupon from Chick Fil A for a free sandwich. Our
goal is 100% membership with teachers, faculty and staff along with students. We give rewards for the
homeroom classroom with the highest percentage of PTO membership and teachers receive incentives
as well. Your membership and participation is what makes the PTO successful, so please join today!
g. Family Spirit Night at CiCi’s Pizza: One night a month, the CiCi’s Pizza franchise on Madison St. in
Clarksville hosts RoMS for a fundraising night, during which 10% of total sales goes directly to the PTO.
We would greatly appreciate your participation in Family Spirit Night at CiCi’s Pizza. The homeroom class
with the highest rate of participation will receive a pizza party as a reward for setting the example with
participation!
h. Hospitality Events: We always need your help, but especially for the Back to School luncheon, Parent-
Teacher Conference nights, American Education Week, TCAP Testing, and Teacher Appreciation Week.
During these events and others like them, the RoMS PTO provides hospitality meals to teachers, most
of whom have to work very long hours with few breaks. These hospitality events ensure our teachers
get fed quickly and well, and can easily continue providing quality education to our young students.

i. Box Tops & Label Collecting Activities: The RoMS PTO collects labels and rebates intended for the public
school system from a variety of sources; we also collect Box Tops for Education, Campbell Labels for
Education, and Coke product cap codes at MyCokeRewards.com. For Coke Rewards, you can either
create an account to donate points to RoMS or, if you don’t want to enter the codes, you can turn them
into your child’s homeroom teacher for the PTO and we’ll enter them. Please see our website for details
and collection dates.
j. Links that help support ROMS PTO: Donorschoose.org, Teachers wishlist.com, Target RED card-Take
charge of Education etc. Please select ROMS as your school of choice with your Target RED card.
k. Volunteer Forms: Volunteerism is what makes the PTO work, and RoMS traditionally has a very high
degree of volunteerism in the PTO. To get started volunteering is easy, just return the RoMS PTO
Volunteer Form so that we may keep you up to date with information and volunteer dates/ times via
email. You’ll find all the forms attached including the PTO Volunteer Form, PTO Membership Form, PTO
Spirit Wear Form, and PTO board Member Position Descriptions. “Volunteers don't get paid, not because
they're worthless, but because they're priceless”. ~Sherry Anderson
IV. A Final Note: We are extremely open to your suggestions, comments, and needs. In order to bring them to
the attention of the PTO Board, please feel free to contact me or any of the board members at any time with
ideas or suggestions.
