PTO News:

Due this week! PTO Contribution Fund

Show your support before Friday, Oct. 2 to receive PM Swag! See Form for details: https://bit.ly/ContributionFundPTO

We also accept VENMO @ParkwayManorPTO https://www.venmo.com/u/ParkwayManorPTO 

The PTO Contribution Fund is not about being a member vs. a non-member. Every parent and guardian automatically belongs to our PTO community, and every student wins when we work together! Your contribution simply helps us anticipate and disperse financial support back to the school, rather than operating "bake sale to bake sale" if you will. 

Thank you in advance for making a donation!
