As we approach the 2020-2021 school year, your executive board has already been meeting regularly with our organization’s purpose at the forefront of our planning.
Our mission as an organization is to: Help our children learn and thrive by creating a partnership between families, teachers and administrators.
In a normal year, the HTES PTO is the sole funding mechanism for aides, librarians, and programs such as Mini Museum, Accelerated Reader and Horsemanship. We support teacher libraries and classrooms through book fairs, and build school community with in-person events. Traditionally we have supported our programs through a major yearly fundraiser like the Turkey Trot.
Our opportunities to fulfill this purpose and these programs this year will look different than prior years, but we will earnestly continue to support our students, families, and teachers. Health and safety will be a priority and our beloved events and fundraisers will need to be reconstructed as we look toward new opportunities to support our organizational goals.
We welcome all input from our families, teachers and wider community and can’t wait to work with you to achieve our goals this year.
Here are some of the programs we hope to continue this year:
Program | Cost |
Mini Museum | $700/year |
Accelerated Reader Program | $8,000/year |
Teacher Aides & Librarians | $45,000/year |
PebbleGo (On-line Research for K – 2) | $1,300/year |
Technology | up to $8,000 |
Art, Music, PE, Garden, Science | $3,000/year |
Our students deserve a great education. The resources provided by your financial support allow students of Horseshoe Trails Elementary to receive an educational experience unparalleled in Arizona. Horseshoe Trails Elementary PTO is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
