Support the PTO
There are many ways you can support the Connors PTO. Monetary donations toward a specific project or "just because" are always welcomed and appreciated. We also host a variety of fundraising events throughout the year. You can also support the PTO by volunteering your time to plan or work at school events, offering services or goods you have connections to, helping to source donations, or alerting us to unique opportunities.

SPOTLIGHT ON...
DELOITTE LENDS A HELPING HAND AT CONNORS
A Connors parent who works at Deloitte arranged for his team to do their annual day of service (Impact Day) at Connors to spruce up the playground and outdoor area -- including a new basketball hoop, flowers, hopscotch, foursquare and more! This is an amazing example of a creative and unique way to support Connors. Have an idea? Share it with the PTO or Principal Addi, and let's make it happen!
