What happens to the money raised by the PTO?
Each year a budget is created and voted on by our Board members. From this, we decide where the funds will go. We strive to raise at least enough funds to meet some of the items on the wish list of the school administration- 100% of the money raised through the PTO goes directly back to benefit our students. The PTO’s role has become even more critical as we raise funds to supplement the cost of the school’s needs. The PTO is pleased to provide some of
the extra items that our students and teachers receive. In the past, some of these items have included:
- Additional resources for the media center
- Playground equipment
- Family nights
- Book fairs
- Teacher appreciation week
What programs does PTO support?
- Music and STEAMM education
- Art Adventure
- Title 1 Events
- Field Trips
