Bonfire
The fall night the whole town shows up for.
Ludlow Parent Teacher Organization
Every Panther
has a crew.
We're the parents, grandparents, and teachers behind the Bonfire, the Santa Shop, Mayfest, and more at Ludlow Independent Schools. No fees. No experience needed. Most jobs take about an hour.
Next PTO meeting: Wed, Aug 26 · 6 PM · School Cafeteria, 525 Elm Street
What does the PTO do?
Everything on this list is volunteer-run. Which means everything on this list is a place an hour of your time shows up for a kid.
Santa Shop
Kids pick out gifts for their families. Wonderful chaos.
Mayfest
The end-of-year blowout.
Teacher Appreciation Week
A week of thank-yous for people who earn them all year.
Kindergarten Shirts
Every new Panther starts with a shirt.
Senior Events
We send the big kids out right.
Scholarships
PTO dollars follow seniors into what comes next.
Fundraisers
Where the money comes from. This is where an hour helps most.
One meeting a month.
That's the whole ask.
We aim for the third Wednesday at 6 PM in the school cafeteria, 525 elm street. When school stuff collides, we move the date, and it changes here first. Come once, see what we're about, leave when you need to.

Got an hour?
We'll take it.
You don't have to run anything, join a board, or come to every meeting. Most of what we need is one pair of hands for one job. Evenings and from-home jobs count.
Tell us what you're into and we'll find you a fit. Or just ask a question. That's allowed too.

Rather watch from the bleachers first?
Fair. The newsletter is short, occasional, and actually useful. Meeting reminders, event dates, and where help is needed next.

Rather chip in dollars
than hours?
Also great. Every dollar goes back to Ludlow students: the programs above, the scholarships, the kindergarten shirts. Ludlow PTO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Give on VenmoChecks and cash work too. Bring them to any meeting.
