PTO
(Parent-Teacher Organization)
The Fairview Elementary PTO is an organization made up of parents, teachers, and administrators. The purpose of the PTO is to encourage communication between school and home and to enhance and support the educational programs at FES.
The PTO augments FES life by sponsoring children's programs such as field trips, assemblies, Adopt An Artist presentations and projects, publishing Peacock Press books authored by our students, and funding purchase of equipment and supplies. The PTO also provides family activities such as the Fall Festival (a family picnic), Family Nights, and the Ice Cream Social. The Fairview community is supported by our Share A Book Drive and Rummage Sale.
One of the many activities that the PTO provides every year includes 2 Family Fun Nights where we provide entertainment enjoyable for the entire family. A Disco Night complete with a DJ to show everyone the famous 70s and 80s dance moves and a Family Bingo Night. Both nights hot dogs or pizza and other food items are available at a minimal charge.
The PTO has monthly meetings, usually on the third Wednesday morning of the month. At these meetings, committee activities are announced, volunteers are recruited, use of resources approved by vote, information about the school is presented, and MANY ideas that improve our kids' education are discussed. All are welcome, and all comments and ideas are welcome.
Want to get involved? If our meeting times don't fit into your busy schedule, watch the Parent Student Newsletter for events and activities or drop the PTO a note with your suggestions or requests. Fundraisers which run all year long include Market Day, Computer Cartridges/Cell Phone recycling and General Mills Box Tops.
