Ashbrook PTO Mission Statement

The Ashbrook Independent School PTO is a non-profit (under the school tax ID) parent-teacher organization with the purpose of supporting the education of children at Ashbrook by fostering relationships between the students, parents and staff. The PTO subsidizes educational strategies in the classrooms, friendship building events, fun experiences in and outside of the classroom, and athletic activities that encourage health and wellness. Ashbrook Independent School PTO also exists to connect parents to each other through volunteer opportunities. Additionally, the PTO sponsors and organizes some, but not all, fundraising and school events, which deepens the school’s community spirit and enriches students’ educational, social, and developmental experiences.

2021-2022 Goals

• Provide support for student clubs and teachers in the form of mini-grants that fund supplemental learning and community building opportunities.
• Provide funds to the Staff Appreciation Committee for the purpose of acknowledging the school staff’s hard work by means of luncheons and gifts.
• Promote community spirit through fundraising for a specific cause and then provide an object or experience, which reinforces this cause. For example, hold a jog-a-thon which promotes health and then gift a water bottle filler to the school which also promotes health.
• Organize events that foster student social opportunities (e.g., dances, movie nights, talent show).
