BYLAWS
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) and an affiliate of the Newton Council of Parent Teacher Organization, Inc., we are governed by bylaws put forth and amended since the formation of our organization. They can be found here:
All parents and guardians of children enrolled at Zervas are members of the PTO! We need you! Tuition only covers a portion of the annual cost to educate each child. The PTO provides direct financial support for educational enrichment, teacher development, community events, classroom technology, appliances and materials through PTO dues and fundraising. Without your contributions, we cannot continue to support the numerous activities we fund and host each year.
Events and activities supported by the Zervas PTO in the past have included: Halloween Dance, Back To School Party, Destination Dinners, Tasty Takeout, and the Staff Appreciation Luncheons.
