How Does the PTO Raise Money?

Can I donate directly to the PTO or a specific project?

How does the PTO support our school?

Money raised at our PTO sponsored events is used to fill in the gap between what is allocated by public
funding and the additional experiences/resources we want available for our school. Public funding provides basic education, but there is nothing basic about American Academy! These enhanced experiences and resources are one of the ways our school is different. Like other top-ranked schools, we must continue to raise money to fund these on-going expenses.

How does the PTO give back to our community?

What about funding for larger scale/long term projects?

After our initial academic commitment is met, we then focus on our community building events. Once these events are budgeted for, we are able to begin funding other large scale projects that also benefit the school and our students! The larger items that we have been saving for, such as playground expansions and improvements, take several years to reach our funding goals. For example, the wood chip removal and replacement would cost roughly $100k. Thanks to several years of fundraising and saving, the PTO has been able to commit $75k to this project from the 2023-2024 school year!
