Are you our next VP? We are still looking for someone to step forward and help keep the PTO running next year. We could still use someone for the Vice President position. Please remember, there is no need to chair additional committees, take over for the president in the future years, or be a stay at home parent to have a board role. We just ask that you have a love of South Row School and a desire to help the students and staff have an extra special school year. Please email us at SouthRowPTO@gmail.com to get your name on the ballot.
