PTSO Programs & Fundraising
Our primary objective as a PTSO is to provide our school with funds, programs, resources, and services that will enrich and maximize the education of every child and to benefit the school. To meet this important objective, we fundraise. Membership dues and fundraiser dollars go towards sponsoring and supporting Teacher Appreciation Events, Classroom Grants, Parent Communication, Educational Enrichment and various other needs at PHS as they occur throughout the year.
