The FESPTO supports the school’s Athletic programs whenever possible. Last year the FESPTO helped buy new soccer balls and a few years ago coordinated the purchase and installation of the gaga put on the playground.

Music and Art

Last year the PTO purchased hand bells for the music program and art supplies for the mural and sketchbook clubs. This year we helped support the after-school scarecrow making activity.

Teacher Grants
The PTO approves various teacher requests throughout the year for items that will enhance the classroom experience, such as a new area rug and buddy chairs, hands on science kits, books, and more!
Enrichment
The Frenchtown PTO is hoping to sponsor a number of student and parent enrichment events during the school year. We encourage both Parents and Teachers to suggest ways we can deliver additional programs both during and after school.
