The Mary C. Howse community is supportive, uplifting, and inclusive and this shows in everything that our PTO does. The MCH PTO is an organization that brings together parents, teachers, and staff at Mary C. to provide support, enrichment, resources, and experiences to the students and school community. We achieve this goal with the help of our amazing volunteers and through innovative and exciting fundraising opportunities such as the Spirit Wear Shop, Pretzel Sales, Fun Run, Book Fair, Fall Festival, Holiday Shop, Silent Auction, Spring Fair, No-Cook Nights, BoxTops, AmazonSmile and more!
All of these fundraising initiatives are made possible by the hard work of our executive board members, committee chairs, and generous volunteers. If you’d like to contribute your time and skills to these efforts please look through the available opportunities to volunteer this school year. There’s something for everyone - no matter what your schedule and experience might be!

- Welcome Committee Playground Night
- Field trip shirts for all students
