What Is the Ben Franklin PTO?

The Ben Franklin PTO is a FUN group of parents, teachers, and staff who work together to benefit the students and families of Ben Franklin. The stated purpose of the Ben Franklin PTO is to:

a) Support the education of children by fostering the relationship between the students, parents, and teachers at Ben Franklin Elementary School.

b) Enhance the education facilities and opportunities for Ben Franklin Students.

c) Promote volunteer opportunities and sponsor projects and events for the benefit of Ben Franklin Students.

We work closely with the teachers and staff to meet the needs at Ben Franklin. We offer assistance with field trip costs to allow students educational opportunities outside the classroom. We help the school purchase technology to meet classroom needs and provide assistance for teacher classroom wishlist items. In addition, we offer social events to bring families together and support the community of Ben Franklin.

We would not be able to support Ben Franklin School without the generous support of our many members (you)! Donations of any size are important to help us meet the needs of our Ben Franklin students.
