The PTO plays an important role in bringing enriching programs and memorable events to our students. These opportunities simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of parent volunteers.

As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we are at risk of not being able to offer several of our most popular programs if we do not have enough volunteers to help organize and run them.

Some of these programs and events include:

PTO BOARD POSITIONS

Co-President

Vice President
