About PTO

Mission Statement

Holy Trinity PTO is a nonprofit parent teacher organization whose membership includes parents and staff of Holy Trinity School.

The PTO's mission is to establish a close relationship between home and school by advancing opportunity for all parents to become involved in our Holy Trinity School community.

The PTO supports the teachers and staff, raises funds for supplemental educational materials and experiences, supports school and family social interaction, and provides a non-biased forum for sharing information on issues that impact our children.

It is our belief that the team effort of a parent teacher organization offers the best possible learning environment for our children.

Why should parents get involved?

When parents get involved early in their children's education, the results are more pronounced and long-lasting. Plus, it's easier to stay connected as children grow up and become less enthused to have parents around than it is to get connected when they are older.

Involvement can make a dramatic difference for their children. Parent involvement is a powerful tool. Use the PTO to get involved at Holy Trinity.
