President's Message

The Braelinn Elemtary PTO would like to welcome all new and returning students and families back to school!

PTO is an organization of parents and teachers of Braelinn Elementary. Everyone is a member and there is no charge.

Through fundraising efforts, the PTO is able to donate funds to purchase educational materials and equipment. For the PTO to be truly effective, it is essential to have parental involvement from as many parents as possible. There are endless possibilities in ways you can help. Whether you have 30 minutes or a couple of hours, your ideas, your time, and your talents are truly needed. Please consider volunteering, it makes a difference in the lives of our children.

Please complete the Volunteer Form and return it to school with your child. We will be in touch!

We need you!

Thanks so much,
Jennifer Norton
PTO President
