What is the PTO?

We are a Parent/Teacher Organization that helps fund school related activities and programs. There is no commitment when a parent or teacher joins the PTO, but we hope that they understand they are able to vote at each meeting. Just last year, the PTO was able to raise money and vote on the many ways that we would allocate that money to the school.

Here are just a few ways that your PTO helped Powell last year:

-Funded all field trips for all grade levels
-Classroom technology upgrades
-Online math and language arts programs
-3rd and 4th grade inline skating
-Provided all grade levels and specials with a large sum of money to help enhance classroom learning
-Funded all N.E.A.T. (Never, Ever Absent or Tardy) parties and rewards
-Maintained playground equipment and purchase new equipment
-Ask us about the MANY other way!



Where and when do you meet?

The PTO meets 3 times a year. Please let the front desk know that you are coming for a PTO meeting in case the meeting has been moved to a different room in the building. We would love to have you join us at ANY meeting you can make...because your vote counts!

What is the Box Top Program?

The new Box Tops mobile app uses technology to scan your store receipt to find participating products and instantly adds Box Tops to your school's earnings online. Each Box Top is worth $0.10 and goes directly to Powell. Those dimes add up fast! Plus, the students enjoy the friendly competition. For more information click here.



What is the Kroger Community Rewards® Program?

Kroger Community Rewards® makes fund-raising easy...connect your Plus Card to Powell at the beginning of each school year and then all you have to do the remainder of the year is shop at Kroger and swipe your Plus Card! Each time you use your card you will be earning cash for Powell.For more information click here.
