Who is a part of the PTO?


All parents of current students are automatically members of the Sanborn PTO, and are welcome/encouraged to participate and get involved in its operation. All levels of  parent & teacher participation are welcome and encouraged as part of the Sanborn PTO.  Even if you only have time to attend a handful of meetings, your voice is always appreciated as part of our discussions. For those who have more dedicated time to participate in the Sanborn PTO, opportunities exist to run individual programs & events, to become a grade-level representative to the PTO, or to join the PTO Board as part of the Executive Team.

fundraising

How does the PTO raise funds, and where do they go?

The PTO runs events throughout the year as varied and fun as the Sanborn community itself.  Many events allow us to raise money in support of PTO initiatives - including academic enrichment, cultural arts programming, and teacher/staff discretionary spending...but some are strictly social events intended to bring people together for fun!  We encourage your participation in as many events for which you have the time & energy.
