PTO Mission Statement
|
The Burrell PTO is a Parent Teacher Organization committed to enriching the educational and social experience of Burrell School students and their families. The PTO exists to provide volunteer services and to raise funds that support students’ educational efforts and extracurricular activities.
Volunteer efforts range from a wide variety of in-school support services to coordinating Burrell's participation in family and community events. Each year an assortment of fund raising programs are offered so that families have choices in how they participate. Funds are used for enrichment programs, field trips, and school pride events as well as for other PTO approved expenses that benefit our school and community. It is our intention to create a welcoming "Burrell Family" that encourages families to participate in both educational and social events that build pride in our school and in our community. |
