Annual Dues Every year the Williams PTO spends approximately $250 per student on the various programs the PTO sponsors in and out of school. In order to achieve all our goals for our school and our children we must raise upwards of $40,000 each year. While every Williams parent/guardian is automatically a member of the Williams PTO, we ask that each Williams family pay annual dues in order to keep these programs alive and raise the bar in our community and social gatherings. Our goal this year is 100% family participation. While our suggested payment is $250 per child, please contribute what you can. The PTO will use dues to fund many of our core activities throughout the year! For example: Classroom Supplies Field Trips Creative Arts & Sciences Educational Enrichment Program Staff Instructional Mini-Grants Technology & Equipment Multicultural Night Staff Appreciation Week School Grounds Beautification Community Outreach Back to School & Ice Cream SocialÂ
You can make your donation HEREÂ and please check to see if your company will match your contribution! |
