So I had told the PTO that I was not returning as a board member this year. Mostly because I have massive problems with how the PTO pres runs it, but also because I wanted to free more of my time for the kids classes.
Anyway, last week Jeff and I were talking about some things going on at the school and we (mostly him, because I didn't want to do it at first) decided that I would run for Pres of the PTO.
The vote is on the 22nd of this month and I am really nervous about it. I have been telling people (teachers and parents) that I will be running, but I have not seen the PTO Pres to let her know. I have gone in three times to talk to her, but she had other app ts. I want to do the right thing, and let her know I will be running against her...we will see how it plays out. She is not going to be happy at all and I am sure there will be some talking that will be very negative in my direction.
I really think I could do a good job as PTO pres. Not because I think I am so good, but because I know a lot of good parents at the school who would pick up the slack for my weakness'.
I also think it would be fun. I love planning activities and fundraisers and I think I am fairly strong in that area. I also know I would be able to get a lot of parents to help, so the work load would not be as high as it is in PTO right now.
All theory! Just wish me luck on my nerves. I am not the best at making myself sound good and I am sure I need to say something at the PTO meeting to let people know that I am capable of leading the PTO. I wish I could take my friends and let them talk for me. I am sure I could pay them enough to say good things about me.
