Upper Arlington High School PTO

Lots of great topics on the agenda, plus we are meeting on the second floor of the LC in the R&D Lab. Parking at the high school is challenging, so arrive early and be prepared to walk. Don’t know where the LC is in the high school? Enter through the main office, and they will give you directions.

Every parent is invited – whether you are a PTO member or not. Look forward to seeing you there.

Does your student need service hours for a class this year?  It is time to start Clowning Around to help raise money for Barrington’s ONLY major fundraiser this year. The event is on September 23rd, 10:00am-2:00pm. Middle and high school students are invited to support Barrington by volunteering their time.

Please consider volunteering for one or more shifts at Clown Around by going to this  Volunteers on the day of the event are CRITICAL for the event’s success!

Who wouldn’t feel welcome at an outdoor luncheon in that beautiful weather?

The PTO hosted a “New Student” lunch on Friday, August 25th for high school students who are new the the Upper Arlington community. This gives the students a chance to feel *special* and to network with other students in their same situation.

A special thanks to our members, who provide essential financial support to the PTO through their memberships. This allows us  to provide these types of programs which build meaningful communities between and across our students, staff and parents.

When the high school realized there was a shortage of solar glasses for the August 21st eclipse viewing, one of the first calls was made to our PTO. We stepped in and promised funds to help purchase glasses so that all students can enjoy the eclipse viewing together, as planned.

Thanks to all our members who help make this possible, and to our PTO Leadership for responding to the call for help!
