PTO Funded Programs
The New Franklin School PTO is much more than fundraising. The PTO sponsors assistance to teachers in the classroom setting, supports school and family social interaction, engages with our local community, and provides a non-biased forum for sharing information on issues that impact our children.
In addition, the PTO holds fund-raisers for supplemental educational materials and experiences. This is a very important aspect, as our goal is to pay for all field trips for Kindergarten through 5th grade, including the 5-day environmental day camp for fifth grade students, so that every student can attend without paying.
It is our belief that the team effort of a PTO offers the best possible learning environment for our children. We hope you will find a way to be involved.
The following programs and activities are planned for the 2017/2018 school year and will be funded by the NFS PTO:
