WHO WE ARE
The Ada Elementary PTO, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is dedicated to enriching all children's learning experience at Ada Elementary. Unlike some other Parent Teacher Organizations, we do not have membership dues or volunteer hour requirements, and we welcome all parents and guardians of Ada Elementary students as automatic members of our PTO.
As detailed in our by-laws, our objectives are two-fold:
HOW WE DO IT
The board plays a crucial role in finalizing the calendar of various fundraisers and events each year, ensuring a well-planned and effective strategy. This process involves careful consideration of various factors, including community preferences, event success from previous years, and alignment with Ada Elementary's needs and goals for the upcoming school year.
Once the calendar is in place, the board collaborates closely with the fundraising and program committee chairs to execute the planned events and initiatives. It becomes a truly collaborative effort, with everyone on the team contributing their unique skills and expertise. This "all hands on deck" approach ensures that each fundraiser and event receives the attention it deserves.
Through effective teamwork and coordination, the board, along with the committee chairs, strives to make each year's calendar of events a resounding success for all of the families, teachers and staff we serve. Learn more about the types of Fundraisers and Programming we typically put on each year and the various Committees and Current Chairs. We couldn't do it without our amazing volunteers!
