Meet the CHML Parent Teacher Student Organization
The CHML PTSO is a strong partner with the school and the community. We focus on supporting the faculty, staff, parents, and, most importantly, our students. In order to be successful, we know that we must engage the support and involvement of the parents, the faculty, and students, as well as our business and community leaders.
Through the efforts of the Capitol Hill Montessori PTSO, parents have a variety of opportunities to be involved. And they are involved! They participate in regular meetings as well as special events and activities. They make donations. They volunteer to lead or support the planning and implementation of events. They become the face of Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan PTSO as they talk to partners and funders. Parents provide critical feedback to the PTSO and school about how to continuously improve.
All CHML parents are members of the Capitol Hill Montessori PTSO. We aim to achieve 100% participation from families and invite you to choose your individual way of becoming involved, whether by volunteering at events, attending meetings, fundraising, and/or donating at whatever level you are able.
Contact one of the officers if you have further questions:

PTSO Board Roles
President
The president is responsible for managing the PTSO board, coordinating activities with the CHM administration, and providing leadership to PTSO at large.
Vice President
The vice-president is an aide to the president, managing PTSO board meetings, and manages the PTSO committees.
Treasurers (2)
There are two treasurers, Junior and Senior. Each serve two terms with overlapping time periods. So the first year treasurer is Junior and becomes the Senior in their second year, when a new Junioer is elected. This way there is continuity and training in this important role.
Secretary
This position is responsible for taking notes at Board and community meetings, and organizing childcare for meetings. They will also take the lead on inputting PTSO content to Monarch Minutes.
At-Large Members
The two At-Large Members are responsible for acting as liaisons between the board and the PTSO committees, and for spearheading our community events.
