PTO - Parent Teachers Organization

Parent Teacher Organization

Together we plan and organize many events throughout the year:

  • Salsa Party
  • Halloween Carnival
  • Fiesta Decembrina (student performances and food booths)
  • Flowery Fall Fiesta (formerly the Winter Gala)
  • Jogathon Fundraiser
  • Día del Niño (student performances and food booths)
  • Talent Show

Please consider joining our PTO and attending a meeting! We would love your help planning or putting on one of our many events. We meet every month. Members can choose which events they would like to coordinate or suggest new activities to help build our community.

Flowery PTO fundraisers benefit all students. Our PTO pays for classroom supplies, garden coordinator, art teachers, field trips and the 5th grade outdoor education program.

English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
