Otis A. Mason Elementary PTO
At Otis A. Mason Elementary School, our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is dedicated to fostering a supportive and vibrant school community. Here’s what we do:
1. **Support for Teachers and Staff**:
We provide resources, supplies, and organize appreciation events to help our teachers and staff create an optimal learning environment for our students.
2. **Fundraising**:
We organize fundraisers that help support essential school programs, events, and resources—such as technology upgrades, classroom supplies, and learning programs like AR — that go beyond the school budget.
3. **Event Planning**:
Our PTO plans and hosts various events that bring students, families, and staff together. These events, like spirit nights, school dances, and trunk or treat help build a strong sense of community.
4. **Volunteer Coordination**:
We recruit and organize volunteers to assist with school activities and events, ensuring we have the support needed to make these initiatives successful.
5. **Advocacy and Communication**:
Acting as a liaison between parents and the school administration, we advocate for the needs and concerns of our students and families. We also keep everyone informed about school news and upcoming events.
6. **Community Building**:
Above all, our PTO works to create a strong, connected community by encouraging parent involvement and fostering positive relationships among families, teachers, and administrators. By joining our PTO, you’re helping to enhance the educational and social experience of every student at Otis A. Mason Elementary School. Together, we work to enrich the educational and social experiences of our students. For any PTO information or questions, please email [email protected]
