Our primary goals as a PTO are always to keep field trip costs low for parents and to support our teachers, students, and staff. To that end, we budget $14,000 annually to cover 100% of the cost of transportation for field trips. Based on the success of our major Fall fundraising campaign – Fun Run – we allocate funds accordingly for our other priorities:
