Our PTO

The Wayne Thomas Parent Teacher Organization is an all-volunteer, parent run, non-profit organization committed to enhancing and enriching the education of our children and fostering a sense of community within our school. We seek to keep parents connected and informed.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality education possible for our students and a great culture for our hard-working staff members. We strive to do this by financially supporting school-wide programs, managing events and programs that provide supplemental resources and hosting numerous staff appreciation events throughout the year.
