FUNDRAISING
The PTO budget is derived solely from our fundraising. It is used to better our school and support our teachers. We are able to buy books for the entire school & library, instruments for the music program, enhance the student’s experience through amazing presentations from the Museum of Science, Boston Improv and so much more. A few of the events are: Trivia Nights, a Holiday Fair and a Spring Fling Dance. We work hard to keep all of our fundraising building an even stronger community. Please join in this essential part of helping our school!
