Each year a budget is created and voted on by our members. From this we decide where the funds will go. One hundred percent of the money raised through PTO goes directly back to benefit the Pershing Elementary students. PTO’s role has become even more critical as we raise funds to supplement the cost of the school’s needs. The PTO gladly works to provide some of the extras that our students and teachers receive.

Here are some of the items PTO has helped to fund:
