I’m also excited about all of the upcoming fundraisers, which will ultimately assist in supporting the students and PTO with school wide needs as well as planned activities.”
Paige Hofer

“As I volunteered and got to know the other parents, I learned a lot about how the school functions, what all the PTO does for the school and found myself moving towards the role of PTO president. I enjoy being a part of an organization that provides so many opportunities for families to be involved in their child’s school life.”

Pam Bruner

“I feel we are privileged to have a great school system that invests in our children and the community, therefore serving as PTO president is my way of helping the teachers, staff and administration do what they do best. It is how I give back to the community and school and a way to help voice parents’ thoughts and concerns and communicate these.”
Kathy Claypoole

“R.F. Bumpus Middle School has a place for each student to prosper and I wanted to be a part of that process… Every student has a unique gift, and we, as a PTO board, are committed to assisting the faculty and administration empower every student so they can recognize their talents, achievements and gifts.”
