It Only Takes One Person To Say "Yes".
The Laurel Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a partnership of families, staff, and administrators dedicated to strengthening our school community. Our mission is to support students and staff by fostering connections, removing barriers to learning, and promoting the academic, social, and emotional well-being of all students. Through fundraising, service, and thoughtful use of resources, we enhance opportunities and ensure every member of our community feels supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
The PTO proudly supports student and staff grants, as well as a variety of programs and events that enrich the Laurel experience. Our funding helps make initiatives such as 5th Grade Eco Week, student and staff wellness programs, the Learning Garden, Field Day, staff appreciation events, and 5th Grade Graduation possible.
We are led by a group of volunteer board members and supported by many other volunteers who donate their time and energy to help our events succeed.
