The Laurel Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an informal, organized partnership of parents, teachers, and administrators dedicated to the betterment of our school. Our primary focuses are connecting with our community, organizing events and fundraisers, and supporting our dedicated teachers. All funds raised throughout the year are invested back into the school.
We are led by a group of board members and supported by many volunteers who donate their time and energy to help our events succeed. As a parent or guardian of a student at Laurel, you are automatically a member of the PTO! All meetings are open for parents, grandparents, guardians and community members to attend.
We firmly believe that parent involvement is key to a thriving school community. Your engagement is essential in helping us achieve our goals and positively impacting our children’s education.
If you have any questions about the PTO, please feel free to contact us at laurellynxpto@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you!
