Who’s the PTO?

Teamwork makes the Dreamwork

The PTO is made up of many volunteers who work year ’round to ensure the teachers, staff and students are supported in all the ways possible. 

Below is a list of Committees that you can volunteer for. If you have an interest in anything, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

If you can’t volunteer but want to help, consider purchasing something off the PTO Wish List to help support the efforts of the PTO!
