+ Our mission: The Goal of East Middle PTO is to work in a partnership between Parents, Teachers, Staff and Students to enhance and strengthen the Educational and Social environment for all who attend East Middle School.
+ We raise funds to supplement school budgets, enabling them to underwrite the cost of various initiatives such as:
- Learning activities and field trips
- Equipment and resources
- Assemblies and special programs
- Teacher and staff appreciation activities
* Community Engagement: PTOs foster relationships between parents, guardians, teachers, staff, and the wider school community.
* Specific examples of activities and programs:
- Organizing school dances and other events
- Fundraisers like Pizza Kit sales or restaurant nights.
- Supporting educational enrichment opportunities, such as curriculum enhancement programs or technology initiatives.
- Hosting open houses or back-to-school nights to welcome families and connect them with the school community.
+ How we operate as charities:
- PTOs typically achieve their charitable goals by fundraising and volunteering. They often:
- Organize fundraisers throughout the school year.
- Seek volunteers to help plan and execute events and support school initiatives.
- May be organized under a broader PTA Council, which can facilitate donations.
