PTO Mission

While we host several fundraising events, the mission of the PTO is to have events where our children can have fun, parents can meet other parents and we can bridge the gap between school and home. We truly want to have a sense of community among all our families. We welcome you to the community and are so excited to have you become part of the family. When you sign up to attend events, buy Spirit Wear, participate in Dessert Day, Special Lunch, or donate, we are able to support our community in new and creative ways, including:

  • Supporting the school by purchasing needed Wish List items
  • Creating community among our parents, students, teachers, and staff

Please consider volunteering or donating items for events. We appreciate your support!
