PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)

The Margaretta Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an organization for parents and or guardians of elementary school-age children. The goal is to work together to help our children's school years be happy, fulfilling and educational. The PTO has raised money in the past to help pay for COSI on Wheels, playground equipment and new books for the library, just to name a few.

PTO meetings are open to all parents and/or guardians to get their opinion on what we can do to improve our organization. Guest speakers, including Ed Kurt, Jude Hammond and Leroy Caroll, have discussed new and upcoming changes to the school. We are currently in the process of coming up with ideas of raising money without spending money, with the hope to make our planet a little greener. Please come join our meeting and give us your opinions on how we can make a difference for our children. We provide babysitting and refreshments, so please join us.

Margaretta PTO meeting are held the 1st Monday of the month at 6:00 in the Margaretta Elementary School Library.
