Heights Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) provides wonderful opportunities for parents to work with the administration and staff to provide the most engaging and well-round learning environment for our students!

 

What we do: 

•  Sponsor educational programming:  Every student participates- we work with teachers to bring in curriculum-relevant enrichment programs for each grade, as well as school-wide programs.

• Foster community & school spirit through social events (pizza parties, family events, Ice Cream Social--spring)

• Organize teacher appreciation events, such as monthly staff breakfasts 

• Provide special funding for the specials- art, music, gym, technology & library through donation drives

• Provide mini-grants & annual stipends to teachers to develop their curriculum and classrooms

• Purchase items for the school as needed for the playground, Heights garden and help fund the Heights Mural project

• Purchase items for the school not in the school budget (laminator, recess equipment)

• Provide direct opportunities for students to engage in community service (food drives for Sharon Pantry, Main Spring lunch program)

• Encourage Heights school spirit by having Spirit Weeks at school, offering Heights Hedgie gear for sale and fostering a caring community
