“We have a very well and live PTO that are very engaged, hardworking ladies that raised funds to provide the faculty and staff breakfast this morning,” said Ewell Fuller, Principal of Stanhope Elmore High School. Fuller continued, “We are up to about 35 business partners that we have with the school, these ladies reached out to these businesses and provided gifts to the draw downs that I expected to have about five or ten, but I was surprised to see about 40 door prizes given out. To all the businesses, that worked in conjunction with the PTO, I cannot say enough how supportive that it feels not only from the principal but from our faculty and staff as well. We are very appreciative of it as well. I cannot say enough about the ladies in the PTO, Ms. Carver, who is the liaison for the school and PTO, they all do a superb job organizing and getting things together.”
“I was very happy to be invited to participate at Stanhope Elmore‘s breakfast program yesterday,” said Richard Dennis, Superintendent of Elmore County Public Schools. Dennis continued, “The PTO provided an incredible breakfast and the students did a great job on the play. Certainly a very positive way for the faculty and staff to wrap up first semester and prepare for the holiday season.”
