Who is the LME PTO we and what do we do?

The Lake Marion Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) supports the staff, students and families of Lake Marion Elementary. We offer assistance by coordinating volunteers when needed and offering funds to the school for programs or items that are not included in the school’s annual budget. We obtain these funds through several fundraising opportunities throughout the year.

Our annual walk-a-thon is our primary fundraiser, typically funding the majority of our annual budget. In addition, we also offer social opportunities, such as a Fall Festival and Activity Day to enrich our community spirit. Monthly Culver’s Nights are a special opportunity for both community building and fundraising as well!

Our budget is utilized to support many programs here at LME. For example, the PTO provides funding to cover the cost of our own Resource Dog (Benny), field trip transportation costs, the school directory, scholarship programs, student council, and 5th Grade Graduation. The PTO enhances your child’s education by providing additional programs such as the Fine Arts Assembly, Scholastic Book Fairs, and February “I Love to Read Month” activities.

The LME PTO would not be possible without the input from teachers and staff, and the parents who give their time and energy for the good of our children. MANY THANKS to all who have made the PTO a success in the past – and to those participating in the upcoming events this year!
