Why is PTO fundraising important to our school?

Parent Teacher Organization / Organización de Padres y Maestros
Our PTO focuses on community building across differences through developing fun events for families and school staff to experience together. The PTO also is charged with fundraising so that we can pay for field trips, refreshments at events and parent workshops and the many incidental expenses that a school incurs.

El PTO se enfoca en crear comunidad entre los padres, personal y alumnos a través de nuestras diferencias. También se encarga de recaudar los fondos que la escuela gastara en eventos, viajes de paseo, refrigerio para las clases de familias y otros asuntos de la escuela. 

Fundraising also plays an important role in supporting art, music, playground supervision, field trips, and many other important activities at Bryant. Together, the school community holds many great events each year to raise these funds and build community.
