Welcome
to the
We are the
School’s Parent Teacher Organization. It is the organization that handles all
parent and teacher support. By virtue
of being a parent at the school, you are each a member, as are all the
teachers. Unlike other parent organizations, we don’t charge dues. Instead we conduct fundraisers to help
raise money to provide additional support to the wonderful teachers, library,
and other programs at the school each year.
Special THANKS to all the parents
who had come to help the Walk-a-thon and help all the students to raise the
money for our goal of $6000. This
money will be allocated for our next year’s school support funding and
committees’ activities funding. (May 1st, 2012)
