While school expenditures are being trimmed thinner each year, The Ronald Reagan Elementary Parent-Teacher Organizations (RR PTO) is becoming even more important within the school's community. The RR PTO is a lifeline when it comes to ensuring that the students have the supplies and enrichment programs that make for a more complete learning experience. To do this, fundraising is essential and the RR PTO has found themselves working harder to balance such an important budget.
But The RR PTO does much more than just fundraise to help pay for school supplies and equipment. They raise funds for things that do not fall within the realm of a typical classroom experience. The funds that are raised are returned to the students as field trips, enrichment programs, and facility improvements to help them experience things outside of the classroom curriculum; and they help create a sense of community among school families through family fun events, and school performances.
