Welcome to our organization!
Blue Valley Northwest Parent Teacher Organization Needs Support from Parents Like YOU!
WHAT'S NEW?
*PBC Name Change – We have changed our name! The name change from Booster Club to Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) was approved during our April meeting. The PTO will be doing the same things it has always done - and MORE, but under a new name. The reason for the name change is because we support the school, staff and our students Academically, as well as Sports and Activities. A Booster Club implies it supports sports only.
Our new Mission is to foster a strong sense of community, support student spirit and achievement, and strengthen the partnership between parents, teachers and administration. We plan on doing this by:
- Supporting our teachers, counselors and school staff, so they feel appreciated and equipped with resources needed.
- Supporting events, sports, clubs and activities that enable all students to have positive experiences and build pride for their school.
- Informing, engaging and growing our community of PTO Members and donors.
*Incoming PTO Executive Board – The slate for the incoming executive board was also approved at our last meeting. Please welcome the 2025-2026 Executive Board Members, we can’t wait to see what the great things they will do!
President - Kelly Taylor Bhagat
VP of Membership & Activities - Katie Scheibel
VP of Communications – Laura Pinkepank
VP of Concessions – Johnny Johnson
Treasurer – Scott Easterhaus
*Get Involved – We are looking for a VP of Fundraising/Grants for the next school year. This position is very flexible and the time commitment is what you would want it to be. Any fundraising activities would be in addition to Concessions and at the VP's discretion and Board's approval. This position would also oversee our bi-annual Grants to teachers, coaches and administrators as well as a planned capital expenditure project. We are also looking for a Hearing and Vision Test Chair - this position helps organize the school's vision/hearing tests in fall. If you are interested, please email BVNW PTO. Thank you!
WELCOME TO THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR!
We are SO excited to kick off the year and make a positive impact on the high school experience of our students, our teachers and staff. We do this through our role as one part 'booster club' and one part 'PTO' as our biggest budget item goes towards grants to support a variety of sports programs, clubs and academic activities. Check out the "Grants" tab on this website for details.
Your parent teacher organization supports our teachers through staff appreciation events, staff birthday treats, as well as supporting Staff Appreciation week. Check back this Fall for a list of Staff "favorites."
Your PTO also sponsors and coordinates volunteers for many student activities like tailgating, Homecoming events, Senior celebrations and more. Check back here for calendar updates listing the many events that we host!
We can't do this without YOU. We invite you to get involved in your parent teacher organization through a Membership, Donations, Volunteering and attending a meeting! Together we can make this the BEST. YEAR. EVER! More information below.
