“The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.”
– Plato
Greek Philosopher
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a volunteer organization dedicated to the successful education of our children. We work hard to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive community to help make the school year both enjoyable and exciting for students, teachers, and parents.
October is a wonderful month filled with learning, growth, and community spirit. Our focus for this month is on tolerance: teaching our students the importance of kindness, understanding, and respect for others. You’ll also see fun activities happening across campus, including several dress down themed days, our anti-bullying door decorating contest, and more to keep our students motivated and engaged.
We encourage families to stay connected and involved by joining our PTO, volunteering, and supporting your students from home. Your partnership makes such a difference in the experiences our students have each day. Thank you for being an active part of our school community and for helping us make October another month full of achievement and celebration!
