ABOUT US

Help us to enrich the educational experience of our students by supporting our school, its staff, and its programs.

• Strengthening a sense of community by bringing families together to have fun with our kids!

• Harnessing the energy, expertise, and enthusiasm of parents who want to volunteer in the school.

• Raising money to support the school and to provide important programs.

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.
