PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Greetings Nettelhorst Community, I am Margaret (Mags) Hefferon your NPTO President. I am looking forward to facilitating the continued growth of this wonderful community. My husband Matthew was born and raised in Chicago and I grew up in the suburbs but since college have called this city my home. I believe in fostering connections and investing in a diverse life within an accepting, safe, and supportive community. The NPTO is an organization that helps with fundraising for the needs of the school. It is also so much more. This organization is designed to help foster the growth of connections in this amazing neighborhood. Further, bringing something fun and enjoyable to the school is a priority. Learning does not just happen within classes during the school day, but during meaningful interactions at events and activities. I want the NPTO to be a place where everyone feels like they can help, volunteer, and be accepted. We all have unique and specials skills. If you have the time, please reach out as it is my mission to foster a welcoming organization. The more voices, thoughts, and contributions we can have the better we will be.
We are Stallion Strong. We all belong.
