Swanson used volunteer PTO to help students. How about you?

Cathy’s son’s class at the state capitol in Madison.

Last week, we asked to hear how you’re using your Centennial Volunteer PTO. Credit analyst Cathy Swanson shared what she’s done with hers.

“I used my full eight hours to chaperone my oldest son’s field trip to Madison,” she said. “Typically, they would have gone in fourth grade, but due to COVID, the trip was delayed. His class was able to join the fourth graders this year to get a tour of the state capitol followed by a trip to Madison’s Henry Vilas Zoo.”

And although she had already used her volunteer PTO, Cathy used another eight hours of regular PTO to be part of a high school Career Day at Milwaukee’s Golda Meir School. “I talked to sophomores about myself, my educational journey, my daily job responsibilities, the hidden perks and benefits, and the reality of my career choice,” she said.

Have you used your volunteer PTO yet, or are you planning to? We’d love to hear about it and share ideas with the rest of the bank. Email us at shorelines@northshorebank.com. For more information about centennial volunteer PTO, visit Ask Seymour.
