The Parent-Teacher Club Wants You!
PTC Meetings Start at 6:00 p.m.
The Peru Schools Parent-Teacher Club is a great way to become involved in your child's school. PTC is an all volunteer organization and the help of everyone is needed to ensure a meaningful and fun year for our children.
Through PTC, parents, teachers and school leaders work together to plan activities throughout the year. Some recent activities PTC funds have supported include but are not limited to: assemblies, field trips, classroom equipment and supplies, playground equipment and year-end festivities. We are always looking for new ideas and activities that will help our children, so please plan to attend and get involved, or contact any of the officers listed below. You can also send a message to PTC@perued.net if you are interested in getting involved.
Step It Up Kids Fundraiser!
In 2020, our Parent-Teacher Club exceeded our fundraising goal and raised over $35,000 with the new STEP IT UP crowd funding program! We knew our families were ready for something different than the traditional fundraiser, and clearly that was the case. We cannot thank our students, parents and community enough for the effort that was made last year. No one likes fundraising, but we have truly tried to do something fun and simple that will actually raise the amount of money to let PTC do what it does best...support our kids with great activities and programs at Northview and Parkside Schools. We are continuing this successful fundraiser again this year.
August 30th was the launch of our 2021 STEP IT UP Fundraiser. From student assemblies, dances/events, incentive programs, fun classroom supplies and activities, to field trips, the year-end picnic and fun run, this fundraiser allows Peru PTC to "Fund the Fun"!
Friends and Family, thank you for your support once again this year!

PTC Mission, Bylaws and Structure
