I hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting school year in out Cohasset schools.
Each year, the Cohasset Parent School Organization (PSO) issues this calendar to assist you in planning your day to day activities. You will find special events for each school, as well as listings of school faculty and PSO representatives. I encourage you to “take a peek” in the calendar at the list of the many ways your volunteer and fundraising efforts have enriched and improved our students’ experience. You have truly made a difference.
The PSO is a non-profit organization comprised of all parents of Cohasset public school students. The goal of the PSO is to maximize our students’ educational experience. We do this by funding programs and projects that enrich our curriculum. In addition, we coordinate volunteer efforts and facilitate special events that connect the entire school community and improve the experience and environment for our children.
To make it all happen, we look to you for your input and suggestions and we welcome all volunteers. To fund the work of the PSO, we have planned three major fundraisers this school year: (1) a new wrapping paper and gift drive; (2) our popular school and community telethon and talent show; and (3) our annual Read-a-thon. We greatly appreciate your contributions and participation. We rely on your support.
Each Cohasset school has its own PSO board to focus on the specific needs and interests of that school. Additionally, the PSO has a President’s Council. The President’s Council is comprised of the executive council officers, Cohasset PSO presidents from each school, and various committee chairpersons. The purpose of the President’s Council is to provide a forum for sharing information and resources among all Cohasset schools and to promote school-wide initiatives. It is our hope, with this structure, that the needs of each individual school and student body are well served while facilitating communication among all schools and with the administration.
We encourage you to raise your hand and participate in the PSO! As a parent body, the PSO welcomes your involvement and assistance in promoting strong school, home and community ties. Together, we can achieve our highest educational goals.
For more information or to get involved, please do not hesitate to contact me or your school PSO representatives as listed in this PSO calendar.
I hope you have a wonderful school year!
Jenni Milanoski
PSO President
