The PTO is organized into various committees to provide a variety of programs for our school community. Parent volunteers are the core of these committees. The PTO welcomes your interest and support in our activities. Your participation is essential to the success of our activities and we invite you to join in any of these committees and experience the rewards of enriching and enhancing our children's educational experience.

A committee is made up of a chairperson/main contact and a group of parent volunteers.
