Purpose:


Our purpose is to form an effective partnership between the families and faculty for the intention of fostering greater student success. Together we will provide social, emotional, and academic growth for our students. We provide a wide array of cultural and educational programs, gifts to the school, library, and staff to improve our educational experiences for the children. We create social opportunities for the students, faculty and families. The PTO is a vital and integral part of Banyan School.

Objective:


It is our endeavor to make all children feel significant, unique, and a capable member of our community. Recognizing the value of parental participation, we encourage you to contribute to your child’s success. We will assist and support the staff by working in a cooperative role to bring the home and school together. We will plan programs and activities to enhance our children’s education. Our income is derived from several means of fundraising that help to subsidize the planned activities.
