Some of our activities include:
Scholastic Book Fair at Mora Elementary School. Money raised assists us in all programs we offer.
Staff Appreciation. We sponsor a staff luncheon at the elementary school during conference time.
Scholarships. We sponsor two $500 scholarships for our high school graduates pursuing a career in the field of Elementary Education.
Accelerated Reader (AR) Program. The
PTO sponsors a Holiday AR Store and Spring AR Store. The AR program
encourages children to read by rewarding them with "pretend money" for
reading books. The children may then use the money they have earned to
buy items at the AR Stores at Fairview and Trailview schools.
Bus Driver Appreciation. We sponsor a breakfast for our district bus drivers who provide safety for our children every day.
Field Trips. PTO
donates money to the 2nd grade to help them fund their field trip,
which centers around seeing a professionally produced children's play.
Our financial help allows every child to have this great learning
experience.
Lyceums. What
is a lyceum? It is a fancy word for an assembly. PTO helps sponsor a
lyceum at the elementary school each year. In recent years we
have worked with the Science Museum to provide fun, educational programs
for the kids.
Author/Illustrator. PTO donates money to have an author/illustrator visit the elementary schools during "I Love To Read" month.
Support for the love of books. PTO
donates books for both elementary schools for various programs. PTO
hopes to instill a love of reading in each and every child.
