L.C. Tobias Elementary Parent Teacher Organization
Supporting Tobias students, teachers, staff, and families.
The Tobias PTO helps build a connected school community through volunteer support, family events, classroom enrichment, and fundraising for student experiences.
Purpose
Why the PTO exists
Our purpose is to enhance, expand, and improve educational opportunities for Tobias Elementary students by raising funds and providing volunteer support for students, teachers, staff, and families.
Everyone Belongs
All Tobias parents and guardians are members of the PTO. There are no dues or membership fees, and families can participate in the ways that fit their time and interests.
Student Focused
PTO funds and volunteer hours support classroom needs, reading programs, assemblies, field trips, school improvements, Art Literacy, and other enrichment.
What We Do
Simple ways we help the school year feel richer
Tobias PTO organizes events, raises funds, and connects volunteers so students and staff have extra support throughout the year.
Family Events
We help create community moments such as dances, book fairs, Bingo Night, and other gatherings for Tobias families.
Classroom Support
PTO volunteers and funds help teachers and staff with classroom needs, school-wide programs, hospitality, and special projects.
Enrichment
Fundraising helps make field trips, assemblies, reading support, Art Literacy, and other student experiences possible.
Volunteer
