Want to Be Involved?

There are so many opportunities to volunteer throughout the school year that it can become overwhelming.  The PTO volunteer coordinators will work to match your interests and availability with a need.  Simply contact your school's volunteer coordinator: Elizabeth Gallup for Plummer-Motz and Christine Tenney for Lunt.

PTO Meetings

Parents are highly encouraged to attend the monthly PTO meetings. We're sure you'll find this year's topics both interesting and of concern as we strive to protect our children in the age of technology. In addition to an informative presentation given by an invited speaker at each meeting, the Elementary School principals will update you on what's happening in your child's school.  It's a great way to stay in touch while meeting other parents and school staff.

Why Do We Fundraise?

The Annual Contribution Drive (A.C.D.) and select fundraisers are the PTO's primary source of revenue and make it possible to lend direct financial support to our schools year after year. This PTO funding is used to sponsor elementary school activities and programs (enrichment), fund special requests from school staff (principals' funds), offset out-of-pocket expenses incurred by staff for the benefit of their classrooms (staff stipends), host family events and more.  The end result is an enhanced educational experience for our children in an environment that energizes and motivates them toward learning. It is your support of the PTO that makes all of this possible.
