Save the (Weekend) Date for a Skating Event
The PTO's Welcome Committee is planning a skate date on Blake Pond for later this winter, targeting the last weekend in January. We'll bring the hot cocoa!
-All abilities are welcome. There will be designated areas for beginners versus skating pros.
-Ice skates are available to rent/borrow at the YCS offices. Please plan to reserve skates prior to the event.
-Know a little something about skating or hockey? Volunteer to referee or teach kids how to skate.
-Have used skates or sticks to unload? Feel free to bring them down and we’ll pass them on to Yarmouth Community Services.

New Glow Run Date
We're excited to announce that the 2026 Glow Run will now be held on Thursday, March 5th!
The Glow Run is the PTO's biggest fundraiser of the year, and we partner with Booster, a company that specifically facilitates fundraisers for schools. They're a well-oiled machine and provide a ton of support, materials, and resources through the process. The committee is also supported by the PTO board, and we still have open spots! If you have been looking for your opportunity to get involved and give back to the school community - this is it! Please reach out to yarmouthpto04096@gmail.com for more info.
Keep an eye out for more event info beginning in January, but feel free to start pumping up your 5th-8th graders for the big day immediately!
Minted Fundraiser Runs Year-round!
Does your family send out New Year's cards? Are you announcing a move or a new addition to your family? We are continuing to partner with Minted this year to offer you a discount on cards while also raising money for the PTO-- a win-win!
Here's how it works: Use the promo code FUNDRAISEYARMOUTH at checkout and receive a 20% discount on your order. Minted will then donate 10% of the sales earned using the code back to us!
Please feel free to share the code with friends and family to help us raise even more. The promo code will also remain active year-round, so you can use it for weddings, birth announcements, and so much more while continuing to support the PTO.
Our code is specific to our organization, and we ask that you please don’t use coupon sites like Honey or RetailMeNot to share it, as that could affect our donations.
Thank you for all of your support with the Minted fundraiser--we've raised a lot already and we're so appreciative!
Print copies of the 2025-2026 Directory are in!
Printed copies of this year's directory have come in and will be sent home with your student(s) very soon--check those folders and backpacks! We do also have a limited amount of copies still for sale at $10 each.
As a reminder, the Yarmouth PTO's school directory is created annually to help you connect with local families with students in PreK-8th grades. This easy-to-use tool makes contact information readily accessible, fostering community communication, supporting school activities, and facilitating connections with friends outside of school hours.
Membership Toolkit, our directory service, has been updated with the information of families who have opted in to participate in the Yarmouth PTO Directory. If you have opted in, please check your information, as this is what will be included in the printed booklet.
You can also access the directory electronically:
1) Online through Membership Toolkit. Use the same email address you provided to PowerSchool to create or log into your account.
2) On your Apple or Google phone or device through the Membership Toolkit app (respective app stores linked). You can log in once you have created an account.
