Wattles Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
Wattles PTO Mission Statement:
The Wattles Elementary PTO is a non-profit organization made up of parents whose children are enrolled at Wattles. It is organized for the purpose of supporting the education of the students at Wattles by fostering relationships among the school, parents, and teachers. The PTO is run by a Board who are elected yearly.
The Wattles PTO hosts several fundraising events throughout the school year. The major fundraisers are the Fun Run in the Fall and the Fair & Raffle in the Spring. The money raised through fundraising helps fund a large number of other activities for the student body throughout the school year like, field trips, assemblies, bus travel, reading support, safety/service squad, teacher appreciation and more.
Our fundraising is so successful because of the parents, the community and our volunteers. We encourage you to get involved!
Thank you from the PTO Board!
