GRASSROOM

The Grassroom at Kolter Elementary is an ongoing project funded and run by PTO volunteers, parents and guardians. We maintain and deliver garden education using our state-of-the-art prairie, vegetable garden, pond, pollinator garden, orchard and outdoor classroom.

OUR NEW BUILDING

Hurricane Harvey might have destroyed our building, but it never knocked down our spirit. After 3 years, we moved into our new school last year!

WELCOME TO KOLTER PTO!

Our mission is to support Kolter’s teachers and administration so they can create the best possible academic and social experience for our children. Kolter is a premier Houston ISD elementary school and foreign language magnet.

With Covid, this year will look different. But PTO will try to help teachers and families navigate this unknown territory, and most of all, stay connected. Having overcome Hurricane Harvey, our community is known for its perseverance, and we will do it again through this pandemic. We are strong and our community doesn’t just pull through, we thrive. To echo our Principal Julie Dickinson, PTO will do its best to keep this year feeling as “Kolterish” as possible!

Who's camping tomorrow night?? 🙋💁🏽‍♀️🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

Who's not sure about this event and needs to know more? Circle up for a little Friday afternoon story* ...

Once upon a time in a land called Meyer, there was an awesome dad named Steve who loved all things scouting and camping and Kolter. Steve said, "hey PTO-ers, I think we could have a cool event for Kolter families on our big, grassy, fenced-in Kolter property; I'll handle logistics and you guys handle marketing" and the very first Kolter Campout was born. There was minimum good sleep gotten but maximum fun had + memories made. This occurred for a couple of blissful years. Then there was this crabby old flood that came through and wrecked our spot, so Steve the Scout said "never fear!" and he borrowed a new spot for the next couple of years. Then there was this crabby old pandemic that came through and wrecked all social events for what seemed like eternity (but was really just a couple years), but Steve the Scout (who might have a record for Longest Reigning Kolter Dad between his three kiddos) has persevered! The Kolter Campout is BAAAAAACCCCCK!
