Welcome to the Skillin School Parent Teacher Association
We are creating an excellent school experience for the entire Skillin Elementary community
The Skillin School PTA is a group of parents, teachers, and staff who team up to make Waldo T. Skillin Elementary school in South Portland, Maine a great place for our kids. We plan fun events, organize fundraisers, and support projects that help our students and school community thrive.
Events & Important Dates
Several special projects need leaders and planners! If you’ve been thinking about getting involved but felt unsure, now is the perfect time. You’ll have plenty of support from the board, and we have great plans from last year ready to build on.
If you’re interested in any of these opportunities, email Kate at SkillinSchoolPTA@gmaill.com.
Raffle Calendar | February - We a team to solicit of donations from local businesses, distribute calendars, and collect tickets. This is a key fundraiser, and your help will make all the difference!
Spring Fling Family Fun Night | April - This beloved community-building event includes crafts and refreshments in the gym and games on the playground. It’s always a blast, but it’s at risk of not happening without a volunteer to take the lead. A detailed plan from last year is ready to go—step up and make it happen!
Teacher Appreciation Week | May - Let’s show Skillin’s amazing staff how much we value them! This week of events needs a team to develop a theme and organize daily appreciation efforts. It’s a heartfelt way to give back to our dedicated staff.
Move-a-Thon | May - We already have a lead planner in place, but need a few more people to support planning this exciting event. There’s a solid playbook from past years to guide you.
