PTO

The PTO holds several fundraisers throughout the year. The funds are used to provide every Phoenix classroom with $150 each year to use for trophies and awards for each grade’s Awards Ceremony in May. They also provide funds for day-to-day school operations. The majority of this funding goes to the purchase of copy paper for machines. Other operational expenses vary - from buying supplies for a big PBIS party for the students – to the purchase of a few bags of sand at Lowe’s to “weight” the base of a basketball goal recently donated to our Kindergarten classes – to the acquisition of another wireless headset for P.E. teachers to use in the gym (when the old one broke) - and everything in between.  Finally, the Phoenix PTO provides funds for special projects - like helping the school to purchase Chromebook carts (portable computer labs) at $8,000 each - or the purchase of $17,500 worth of playground equipment.
