PTO News

The Fort Braden PTO is a very important part of our school, bringing so much to parents, teachers, and, most importantly, the students. The PTO is an organization made up of parents and teachers who come together once a month to discuss fundraiser ideas, and where the monies raised are needed most in our school.  The meetings are not only informative, decision-making meetings, but are fun for the parents as well. The PTO is a great way for the parents who would like to be involved in their children's lives to be a part of their children's school. Parents can meet other parents with similar interests and learn who our teachers are.

The PTO’s primary objective is to host fundraisers to raise funds for the school. 

The funds raised allow the PTO to provide books, supplies, and enrichment programs, as well as financial assistance to support field trips and teacher classroom wish list items. In addition, these funds have helped recognize very deserving students each year with honor roll banquets and recognition awards.

PTO meetings are held monthly. Recent school announcements scheduled meetings at 5:30 PM in the Fort Braden cafeteria (Green Room). Check the latest school announcement in ParentSquare for the next meeting date, location, and participation details.

Anyone who is a parent or legal guardian of a Fort Braden student is strongly encouraged to join the PTO as part of being an involved parent. Becoming a member is very easy. Simply attend a meeting! There are no PTO dues or sign up fees!

No. Many of our involved parents are not able to attend all meetings and, some parents in some cases cannot attend any of the meetings.  However, they are still involved by participating in the PTO fundraisers, sending in items for different events, and attending different events.  We do strongly encourage parents to attend when they can to share ideas and for decision-making items.
