Budget & Gifts to School

Do you know how your contributions are being used?

Our annual budget helps us to ensure that PTO funds are being put to the best use possible. We also work closely with Principal Rebecca Wills to determine the most appropriate gifts for the school – from technology and classroom supplies to grounds improvement and staff appreciation events. Below is a detailed description of where your dollars go.
