What Does the PTO DO?

You're the Key

Please accept our open invitation to participate in your child’s educational experience by being a part of the PTO. Any time or talents you have will be a value to your child and to Anderson Elementary.

The Parent Teacher Organization of Anderson Elementary works to support the staff, acts as a resource to the parents, and provides educational enrichment to the students through program funding and volunteerism.

Every parent of a child at Anderson is considered a member of the PTO. There are a wide variety of opportunities throughout the school year for parents to become involved in PTO activities.
