Why Join the Fernbrook Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) as a business sponsor?
Your Business Sponsorship is designed to advertise your business to our school community and help raise money for the programs, events, and services the PTO organizes throughout the school year. Your assistance will help us with Cultural Arts Assemblies, Educational Materials and Large School Improvement projects, and so much more!
Why join the Fernbrook School PTO?
For just $20, your Annual PTO Family Membership fee (during the academic school year) goes directly to fund student learning opportunities/ programs for all of Fernbrook, as well as to contribute to school improvement projects.
Becoming a PTO member does not require participation on a committee or require you to volunteer for any events or activities. Your financial support will assist us with all the fun programs and activities for the 2023-2024 school year.
For any questions, please email the Membership Committee at: membership@fernbrookpto.org
