PARENT FACULTY ORGANIZATION

What is the PFO?

The PFO is a non-profit organization. Programs and fundraising events that the PFO supports are developed and brought by PFO Officers and Members comprised of Parents and Faculty of Vinal Tech High School. Minutes of monthly meetings and financial statements are available to the general public. An annual financial statement is filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

Who Belongs to the Vinal PFO?

Parents like you! We have a president, Vice-president, Secretary and Treasurer voted in by the members each fall when we meet for the first time. Our current officers have been with the PFO since their teenagers started as Vinal Freshmen. Our faculty liaison, Bill Weidner, is the current PFO Vice-president and school psychologist and has been with the PFO for 9 years. He will answer your questions if you call him at 860-344-7100 ext. 328.

Parents are Key to Our Activities

New ideas, enthusiasm and time are the qualities parents like you bring to our organization. We are an upbeat, informal and most importantly, a fun group of parents.

Your Time is Valuable

As parents we empathize with requests for your time. We meet on the first Wednesday of each month that school is in session starting at 6:30 PM for about an hour in the school library/media center.

The Vinal PFO Is Committed to Vinal's Students!!

The Vinal PFO works to fund a number of projects including:

•  Supporting a scholarship fund for the most improved senior in each technology,

•  Lending financial support for students attending leadership activities such as the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Program,

•  Lending financial support to students competing in Skills USA activities,

•  Supporting other school activities such as graduation and other student achievements.

We plan and decide on fund raising activities that are fun and worthwhile to the parent and/or student community but with a goal of keeping the activities as simple as possible.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU AS A VINAL PFO PARENT!
