PTO is a preK-12th grade parent/teacher organization that fundraises and supports the school district. Without their help we would not have many of the technologies or classroom items in the classroom that we do now. If you can't make it tonight please try to join us another month. We can always use your help and input.
I've created a New Monthly PTO Zoom link.
