Ready to get involved?

Join the PTO Board!

The Sanborn PTO Board is seeking an additional board member to join us for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 school years, to assist with Fundraising. The Fundraising Chair will seek out and apply for funding opportunities. These may include: corporate donations and sponsorships; community and government grants; passive fundraisers; and other sources of income for the PTO. The Sanborn PTO Board meets monthly, for two year terms that run July through June. Interested parents should contact the Sanborn PTO Board at pto@sanbornpto.net.

Not ready to join the Board but interested in learning more and getting involved? We'll be talking about volunteer needs for this spring and next year, at our next PTO meeting on March 27th at 7pm.
