PTOs and Booster Clubs
Bloomsburg Area School District recognizes the importance of the work completed by volunteers serving on Parent-Teacher Organizations (PTOs) and Booster Clubs. These organizations are separate entities from the school district that help to raise funds, organize community events, and provide other support for the academic, extracurricular, and athletic work of the district.
For each school year, all PTOs and Booster Clubs must submit a Bloomsburg Area School District PTO and Booster Organization Approval Form to Operations Director Stephanie Kessler (skessler@bloomsd.k12.pa.us). All PTOs and Booster Clubs must submit this form, which includes officers' names and fundraisers, as the school board is required to approve them annually. We request that all forms for the next school year be submitted prior to the end of the current school so they can be taken to the school board for review and a vote prior to July 1. Additionally, all PTOs and booster clubs that require a small games of chance license for a fundraising event must submit this license to the district for its files.
When designing apparel and other fundraising items, PTOs and Booster Clubs should be sure that if they are using the panther image, it is the one approved by the school board (below). Using the school board-approved panther or B logo helps to ensure consistent branding throughout the district and signifies the organization's affiliation with the school district. Please note PTOs and Booster Clubs are not limited to only using designs that contain one of the approved logos; we appreciate and encourage creativity! To request a jpg file of either the district's panther logo or its B logo, please contact Ms. Kessler (570-784-5000 / skessler@bloomsd.k12.pa.us).
