We Can't Do It Without YOU!

We need your help at our PTO Events!  The school benefits from your participation, and so do you in many ways:

  • Families enjoy being together at events

  • Your children will be proud of you for participating 

  • You become more involved in the school

  • You get to know a wider circle of teachers and families

  • Children whose parents are involved in their education, perform better academically

Want To Become A Committee Chair? 

A committee chair is someone who has been appointed to lead a particular committee within the PTO. They organize planning meetings, coordinate with volunteers, delegate tasks, and are the communication liaison to the PTO board. They need to be able to work within an allotted budget and have great communication and collaboration skills.
