What it reported doing in 2025
Teacher and Staff Appreciation - The PTO's Teacher and Staff Appreciation Program recognizes and celebrates the dedication of teachers and school staff through events, gifts, and gestures of gratitude throughout the school year. Activities may include appreciation luncheons, holiday gifts, Teacher Appreciation Week celebrations, and small tokens of thanks provided during particularly demanding times of the year, such as testing periods or the start and end of the school year. This program is funded entirely through PTO fundraising and aims to support staff morale and foster a positive school environment. This program supported approximately 70 staff members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
