BES PTO

Dear Parents, 

Welcome to the Burr Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization!  As a parent, legal guardian or staff member, you are automatically a member of the PTO. There are no dues or requirements for membership. Our organization is a non-profit entity organized by the Burr School parents, administrators and staff.

The mission of the Burr School Elementary PTO is to foster a closer relationship of home and school so that teachers and parents may cooperate intelligently in the education of the children. The Burr PTO will work diligently to enhance the educational facilities and opportunities for the students of Burr Elementary School that is not otherwise provided in the Burr Schools budgets.
  
We are a hands-on organization that believes our children are our greatest investment in life! We provide volunteers and funding to support and supplement the educational experience of all children at Burr School Elementary.

The key to a successful PTO is the involvement of our entire school community.  For many, it may be supporting our fundraisers, being a homeroom parent or volunteering time at an activity or event. For others, it might be chairing an activity or serving on the PTO Board. Some of the activities and events we are involved with require time, money and lots of effort. 

There are so many ways to become involved in the PTO and we need your help!  Whatever time you have to volunteer, we have an activity for you.  Please consider attending a PTO meeting. The meetings are a great way to hear about upcoming events, as well as a variety of topics from district, teacher and student representatives. For volunteer opportunities contact any board member.

Fundraising is a major task for our organization, and we try to make it as easy as possible for our families to help us reach our goals. The money we raise from our fundraisers throughout the year allow us to continue our cultural arts programs, field trips, support for clubs, provide family events and support teachers in classroom activities. 

Please contact members of the executive board if you have any PTO-related questions, concerns, or comments. We look forward to your involvement! 

Sincerely, 
The Burr PTO Executive Board
