What is PTO?
South St. Marys St. Elementary School Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO) is a non profit organization made up of parents and teachers.  The PTO sponsors several events and fundraisers during the school year to help provide rich educational opportunities for all the children at our school.  PTO also provides a forum for parents to get involved with their child’s education and to help support the teachers in a positive and well informed atmosphere.  Let us be your link with the teachers and administration.
