Walnut Grove PTO
ABOUT PTO
Walnut Grove Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization made up of parent volunteers who are dedicated to supporting the students, teachers and staff of Walnut Grove Elementary.
Our volunteer-led committees work together to create an engaging and supportive environment for our entire school community. From organizing fundraising events and socials, to providing teacher appreciation gifts and volunteering in classrooms, we strive to make a positive difference in our school.
All donations to the WGES PTO are tax deductible with the majority of funding spent in the same school year.
