What does the PTO Do?

• Organize fun, family oriented events such as Movie Nights, Picnics, Dances, Bingo Night etc.

• Raise money to buy educational tools for the school that the school budget will not cover.  Currently, we are buying Document Cameras for each classroom (this camera is used to project the image of any object or document onto a screen for the entire class to see).

• Provide educational/enriching programs and assemblies for the students (Guest Speakers, assemblies, parent-led mini-courses during the lunch hour etc)

• Create the yearbook

• Plan activities for the teachers and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week

• Coordinate Frost Spirit Wear
