Overview

Mission

The purpose of the PTO is to enhance and support the educational and extracurricular experiences of the Old Forge Elementary School (OFES) students, to develop a closer connection between school and home by encouraging parental involvement, and to improve the environment at OFES through volunteer and financial support.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Arboretum at Old Forge Elementary School has been thoughtfully transformed into a vibrant, multi-purpose outdoor classroom designed to enrich hands-on learning across all grade levels. What was once a simple green space is now a dynamic educational environment where students can explore nature, science, and environmental stewardship in an immersive way.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 86% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
