Overview

Mission

The PTO raises funds to help provide school supplies, and support students and staff at Avery's Creek Elementary School

What it reported doing in 2025

The three largest services we had for 2025-2026 were our consumable workbooks for students which were 16,000.00, our book fair which cost $10,842.31, our holiday shop which cost 4,923.03. The workbooks are used by every student in the school (around 550) and the funds for that were raised in 2024-2025, then paid for in late July of 2025. The book fair is a shop provided to the students where they can purchase books and other items from the Literati company. The school receives a portion of the proceeds to turn around and use towards purchasing library books. The holiday shop is a shop open to the students where they can purchase holiday themed items and the proceeds for that are used to purchase the workbooks and other school supplies provided by the PTO.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 62% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
