Olson Elementary Playground Project Fundraiser
As announced by our principal Christine Barrone earlier this week during our PTO meeting, Olson Elementary’ s playground surface is getting a makeover! We will soon have a playground surface that is accessible for students of all mobilities! Plus, no more tire chips in the washing machine. This amazing remodel is being financed by MMSD's building services funds, along with our PTO, but we need your help to make our contribution.
To give to this project, make a direct donation to Olson's Playground Drive, running now through May 14th. Donations can be made via PayPal and credit card at Olson's Playground Drive, or with cash/check donations to the school office (checks made out to Olson PTO).
For every $25 you donate, you will be entered into a raffle to win one of the following: a $50 Target gift card or 50 Splash tickets.

PTO Mission
Our PTO mission guides all that we do and provide throughout the school year:
- To bring families together (trunk-or-treat, splash carnival, the end of year picnic)
- To support teachers & staff (school supplies, a school improvement grant, staff meals)
- To enrich the school day (field trips, assemblies, spelling & geography bees, book bowl)
- To celebrate our students (talent show & 5th grade completion ceremony)
- To extend learning (club swimmy & book fair)
- To help fellow Olson students & families (transportation, scholarships & donations)
From your PTO Presidents
We personally feel so lucky to be able to work with other Olson families to give tangible things to the school and students, as well as those intangible experiences that foster a community. We truly believe that the work we do benefits every Olson student, and has made us feel so connected to this school and the families it serves.
As co-presidents, one of our goals is to get as many people involved as possible. We feel so rewarded by what we do, and we want to provide opportunities for everyone to get involved in ways that work with their lives. With more people participating and generating ideas, we can accomplish so much more.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions, concerns, thoughts or ideas.
Go Otters!
