LNFI PTO
Bienvenue! As a parent or guardian of a L’Etoile du Nord student, you are automatically part of the PTO! We recognize that family involvement supports student’s academic success and deepens their sense of community engagement.
Who We Are:
The L'Etoile PTO is a community of parents and teachers coming together to build, strengthen, and support educational, enrichment, and extra-curricular opportunities within a Francophone environment for L’Etoile du Nord French Immersion school students.
When We Meet:
PTO Meetings are held once a month via Zoom. At the start of the school year, we will send out a survey to determine the best day/time that works for most families. Check the calendar to confirm meeting dates and times. All parents are welcome!
What We Do:
-
Provide resources for students, teachers and classrooms through direct funds that support classroom and grade level activities
-
Host social, fundraising and teacher appreciation events to unite and build community
-
The Intern Program is fully supported by the PTO. The program is 100% family funded and brings French-speaking interns into the classroom for the year to assist teachers.
Get Involved:
There are many ways to participate in the PTO depending upon what works for you:
-
Attend monthly meetings to discuss related topics and learn more about upcoming events.
-
Join the PTO Board, join a committee or volunteer one time at one of the many annual events and fundraisers
-
Host an intern! Host families provide room, board and immersive cultural experience for our teaching interns.
Annual Events:
-
Direct Donation, LNFI Eats, Fun Run & Plant Sale fundraisers
-
Spring & Fall Book Fair and Teacher Appreciation Meals
-
Carnival des Citrouilles and Kermesse seasonal festivals
-
Soirée Gastronomique et Culturelle, Open Gym & Campus Clean Up
Money raised by the PTO fully funds the intern program, supports visiting artists, field trips, teacher appreciation activities, and special classroom projects.
