How the PTO Supports Our Teachers

The Maple Dale Indian Hill PTO is committed to partnering with teachers and staff to create an engaging, connected, and supportive learning community. Through events, classroom grants, and year-round appreciation efforts, we aim to enhance the educational experience for every student while showing gratitude for the dedicated educators who make it all possible.

 

PTO Support for Our Teachers

Our Three-Part Approach: Events • Grants • Support

Events

We believe that connection outside the classroom fosters stronger relationships within it.
The PTO hosts community events for MDIH families that center around belonging, involvement, and connection — helping to build a healthy school environment that supports holistic learning.

Teachers are encouraged to join in whenever possible!

  • Discounted teacher membership dues

Support

The PTO helps create strong classroom communities through the work of our Room Parents, who:

  • Coordinate classroom events and teacher gifts

  • Organize parent volunteers

We also show appreciation throughout the year by:

  • Delivering monthly gifts, meals, or treats to teacher break rooms

  • Hosting Teacher Appreciation Week, where families celebrate and thank our educators

  • Donating books to classrooms with every Book Fair to grow teachers’ libraries
