What's a Rep?

The school representative - the Rep - is the Thrift Shop's primary contact for each school.  A school PTO must identify an adult to serve as its school's Thrift Shop "rep" in order to participate in Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop fundraising activities. 

Each School Rep:

• promotes the PTO Thrift Shop within the school community by publicizing the Thrift Shop in school newsletters (including online versions), on school websites, on PTO blogs, through flyers in" back-pack mail", on bulletin boards, etc.; 

• schedules fundraising activities for the school's groups, clubs, teams, etc., and coordinates those activities, as needed;

• acts as liaison between the school PTO and the Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop; communicates information and reminders from the Thrift Shop to the school PTO and school community, and brings suggestions and/or concerns to the attention of the Thrift Shop;

• attends Thrift Shop Board meetings, including three per year when checks for fundraising are distributed. The representative delivers the payout check to the school PTO treasurer;

• is invited to attend all monthly Thrift Shop meetings and bi-annual Rep Meetings.
