Round Lake Middle School Needs You!

We are looking for parent volunteers to work with the PTO this year.  It is not time consuming, and you would help strengthen the connection between parents, staff, and community.  We will focus on activities that promote school spirit, involve parents and members of the community in the happenings of the middle school, and fundraise/plan for big school events such as the 8^th grade Promotion Dance and Teacher Appreciation Week. 

If we can get every RLMS parent to commit just two hours to helping out we can do amazing things for our kids and our school! Please commit to this two hour involvement pledge. Click on the links on the links below for more information:

Voluteers from Kohl's A-Team coming out to support RLMS!

RLMS PTO received a $500 grant from CVS Caremark through the 2009 CVS Caremark Volunteer Challenge Grants.  A special thanks to Lisa Fields-Wacker from Round Lake Middle School.  We received this grant awarded by CVS Caremark Charitable Trust in support of her volunteer work.  Lisa is an employee of CVS and took advantage of the opportunity her company provides by promoting volunteer work in your community.  Lisa simply had to put in 30 hours of volunteer work throughout the year, which she surpassed generously.  

The RLMS PTO is looking for more parents to check with their places of employment on volunteer opportunities and/or grants available.   

If you are interested in helping out, please contact one of the following PTO reps at (847)270-9400 or via email:
