PTO Mission Statement 2024–2025

The Madeira Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is composed of five dedicated volunteer board members and a host of supporting committees — all of which play a vital role in supporting our teachers and staff, enriching the learning environment for our students, promoting a strong MES community, and allowing for ample opportunities for parents to be involved in their children’s educational experience. Here’s a glimpse into how the MES PTO makes a difference:

We support teachers and staff by: 
• Funding Meals for Conferences  
• Planning a weeklong Teacher Appreciation celebration  
• Supplying weekly teacher snacks
• Gifts to welcome new staff 

We enrich the learning environment by:  
• Ensuring teachers have the supplies and tools they need to create the best and most up-to-date learning environment for their students (new chromebooks, smart boards, STEAM)  
• Taking care of the bussing fees for special class field trips  
• Providing financial support to in-school clubs and organizations  
• Sponsoring all activities and supplies for GotART 

We promote community by: 
 • Leading community events like “Chalk the Walk” 
 • Sponsoring fees for “Walk to School” events  
• Organizing and running large fundraisers, like our semi-annual “Changing Hands Consignment Sale,” which eliminates the need for door-to-door sales each year

 We provide opportunities for parents to get involved by:  
• Enabling “Room Parents” to open up classroom volunteer opportunities  
• Continuously offering monthly sign-up opportunities for veggie tasting Tuesday duty, recess duty, and more!  

Thank you for being here! It’s because of YOU that we’re able to offer our teachers and students such amazing opportunities and experiences. We truly couldn’t do it without you and deeply appreciate your continued support.
