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.
