What the PTO Supports

While building community is at the heart of what we do, the PTO also plays a key role in fundraising for the school. Here’s how your involvement makes a difference:

  • Annual support for the Teachers' Choice Fund.
  • Major capital improvements such as the rooftop playground, heating system, renovated bathrooms, and classroom renovations to accommodate the growing student body.
  • Special projects including wardrobes for dance and drama, drums for the student drumline, and the 2024-2025 Hatch the Chicken program enjoyed by all grades.

We are also working on a Capital Campaign to redesign and construct a new 2nd-floor multipurpose space that will benefit the entire school community, as well as restructuring classrooms on upper floors to support future growth.

Celebrate With Us

The PTO also funds and organizes joyful celebrations throughout the year tied to major holidays and milestones in our school calendar.
