  2. Social Event Coordination: celebrating keep the learning process fun and demonstrates parental support of children and faculty alike.
  3. Generate Revenue: funds are necessary not only to fulfill the operational expenses of the above, but revenues generated allow the school, as a publicly funded entity, to channel community dollars into projects that are limited by budget constraints or not supported thru tax dollars.  PTO accounts are overseen by a governing board, who determine, by vote, how monies should be spent.
