In addition to our executive board, there are several committee chairs needed to help the PTO run more efficiently.  These committees include Technology, Staff Appreciation, Family Fun, Volunteers, Spirit Night and Free Money.  If you are interested in chairing any of these committees, please let one of the officers know!  Every parent/guardian of  a DG Cooley student is a member of the PANTHERS PTO.  We need your help and input to make our efforts to support our school successful.  Please consider joining us for our monthly meetings to hear the latest news and to find out how you can become more involved!

We are so grateful for the monetary donations we received in support of our Carnival this year.  Your support enables us, the Panthers PTO, to raise more money to give back to our school, DG COOLEY ELEMENTARY!  Please express your thanks to our sponsors by giving them your business!
