BUXTON PTO
Forming Partnerships With Our Schools and Community
Mission Statement:
The Buxton PTO is a community of parents, teachers, students, and support staff who have joined together to educate and nurture the children of the citizens of Buxton. The PTO is an organization whose sole purpose is to lend its energy, talent, and time to improve the quality of the community’s education. It has been established so that teachers and parents can work together to make the community more effective in reaching its educational goals.
PTO GOALS:
- Promote parent and community partnerships with the schools.
- Sponsor informational programs for parents, students, and staff.
- Support the arts and enrichment programs in the schools.
- Encourage special projects both within and outside of the classroom.
- Provide funds for special class projects.
- Provide funds to purchase special equipment for the schools.
During the school year, meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month, except December, at 6:00pm in the Frank Jewett Library. Anyone is welcome to attend at anytime. If you are unable to attend meetings, but would like to be involved, feel free to contact a board member. We also send home notices with students prior to our fundraisers and events looking for volunteers.
