Orchard School PTO

"The Orchard Elementary School PTO provides support to our learning community in order to enhance a learning environment which recognizes and nurtures the whole child. This is achieved by recruiting parent and staff volunteers, seeking various outside resources and making them available to the school, sponsoring special programs, raising funds to provide additional but limited financial support for educational supplies and programs"

PTO meetings for 2009-20010 will be held according to the schedule below at 6:00 PM in the Art Room.

Orchard School PTO a Hometown Hero!

On Friday, September 10, 2004, the Orchard School PTO was honored for their outstanding volunteer efforts on behalf of the Orchard School community at the United Way Celebration Breakfast.

About 60 grandparents of Orchard School students contributed for a new piece of playground equipment, the Dorado.

Photo taken by Orchard parent, Sara Solnick.

Check out this web site for more information about the Dorado - http://www.kompan.com/graphics/system/images/new_gxy/us/gxy924_us.pdf

Thanks to Lynne Baechle for organizing this effort.
And THANK YOU SO MUCH to all grandparents who were able to contribute!!!
