Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

A lot of exciting changes are happening to make thePTO at Endeavour Elementary School the very best it can be.

 

We are about men and women working together toward a common goal. That goal, simply stated is creating a better school and a better educational experience for our children. We strive to create an atmosphere where teachers, administrators, and support staff can do their best work and so can our children. There's so much more that can be done and we need your help. The motto of the Endeavour Elementary PTO is " Many hands make light work". We look forward to seeing all that can be and will be accomplished this school year when we come together, as a group and as a community to enhance and maximize the education of every child.

ATTEND MEETINGS Participation through attendance at PTO meetings gives you a voice. You help decide what we do as a group. You help decide where the money should go. If you are new to the Endeavour Elementary, we are available to answer questions and ease your transition into becoming a school family. We will be providing FREE childcare at every meeting. Isn't the PTO only about fundraising? The Endeavour Elementary PTO is more than just fundraising. Fundraising is really just a necessary evil as school budgets are requiring more and more cuts. It is our privilege that we are able to provide the supplies, equipment and activities that our school budgets can no longer cover. We are only able to do that through our Endeavour Elementary families willingness to participate in our fundraisers. Cash for Trash, Discount Cards, Read-a-thon, Spirit wear, and Vendor/Craft Fair are some of the ways we raise money for items such as classroom supplies, literacy support, class trips, and assemblies. It also helps in funding the student planners, 5th grade recognition and the school musical and also fund activities for our “family night” programs such as, Fall Festival, Movie Night, Family Fitness Night and the Big Event/Science Night.
