Overview
Mission
We are a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). We provide parents and teachers with the opportunity to work together to supplement and enrich the educational experience. We fundraise to support school academic programs, teacher grants, academic activities, social events, staff support, and health/wellness programs. We recruit volunteers to help at the school. We collect, deposit and disburse all funds according to the budget - maintaining a current record of income, expenditures & assets.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Accelerated Reader Program is purchased annually by the PTO and is used throughout the entire school year, benefiting approximately 290 students in Grades 2-5. It is a software program that helps students personalize and enhance their reading experience - they test to determine their reading level, then choose books that are at their level. When finished reading a book, students then take a comprehension quiz and it helps students and teachers determine the status of their learning.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
