Weston PTO Creative Arts Volunteer
Weston PTO is looking for new members to join the Creative Arts Committee. We bring professional performing artists and authors to the students of Weston. Programs are funded through the generosity of WEEFC and the Weston PTO. Members collaborate with teachers and administrators to select performing artists and authors that support and enhance curriculum, as well as provide enriching art experiences. There are different levels of engagement and volunteers should expect to commit between 2-5 hours per month as a committee member. Responsibilities include attending monthly meetings to share ideas and resources, attending previews of performers at local schools and showcases, and acting as liaison to Weston schools to book artists. Please contact Heidi Estrada (heidifestrada@gmail.com) for more information.
Weston Welcome Ambassadors – SIGN-UP
The PTO has a new program. When your family first started in the Weston Public Schools, did you wish you could reach out to a current parent to ask your big and small school-related questions, get advice on where to find certain activities for your kids or how to get involved in the schools and/or town? If you would like to help welcome a new family to WPS please consider becoming a Weston Welcome Ambassador. It is fun, impactful and strengthens our wonderful community! If interested, please email Kirstin Schena (kirstin_gollop@hotmail.com) and Erika McAuliffe (erikam.mcauliffe@gmail.com).
