About PTO

"Wife and momma powered by love. Fueled by Jesus and coffee. Sustained by legos and wine."

Lacee Morgan

“I taught Elementary school for GCCS for 10 years and I am excited to serve on our PTO board. We have 2 kids at Utica today and 1 more that will head there in 2024. ”

Jessica Cooley

"I'm Jody, I currently have two kids attending Utica. A few things that bring me happiness are crafting, buying more craft supplies than I'll ever use and staying up way too late reading."

Jody Thomas

"I am Ashley Brown, mom to 4 boys, two currently at Utica, one at Charlestown Middle and one at Charlestown High School. I am a small business owner that loves to support our kids and work within my community. This is my 3rd time on the board and I can't wait for a great year! "

Ashley Brown

"Hi! I’m Erin Goldman and I am the new PTO secretary as of this year. My background is in public relations, and marketing. I am a busy mom of three kids under 6 years old. We have two boys, and a girl. If we aren’t home we might be at the baseball, or soccer field. I am an active member at church. I love traveling with my family, going to the Louisville Cards games, and walking. With what little time I have left I take a bodypump class too! I hope we can all help make Utica the best it can be for our kids and teachers!"

Got great ideas? Come to a meeting! There are many ways you can contribute toward our causes, and every little bit that you commit goes a long way in helping us fulfill our mission. Participate as much or as little as you choose. Observers are welcome!

Meetings typically run for about an hour and are open to all adult members of the Utica  Elementary community. You can find the current PTO Meeting schedule on the Info page.

You can also visit our Volunteer page for more information on volunteer opportunities.

We hope to see you there!

How can I help?

All the amazing events, supplies, and programs funded by the PTO wouldn't be possible without the generosity of parents, family, and the community.

How we do it?

Thanks to the many families who contribute by participating in our fundraisers each year we host various activities in support of our school community.

Throughout the year, Utica Elementary PTO holds fun events to bring our students and their families together after the school day is done. 

We fund educational enrichment activities and program subscriptions for the students within the school day too. These virtual programs are chosen by our amazing teachers and are considered vital to their day-to-day teachings.

We support the UES Staff and students in other ways as well, including classroom supply reimbursements for every teacher and funding for our Teacher Appreciation acknowledgments.
