Thornton Central School Parents & Teachers Organization
Together….. We can make a difference!

PTO stands for Parents and Teachers Organization. Our group supports the children, staff and families of our school by raising money and gathering volunteers. Anyone can be involved; parents, guardians, grand-parents, teachers, staff, etc.

We usually have meetings monthly. Everyone is welcome, especially those who are curious, confused, have ideas for activities that can bring students, teachers, parents and caregivers together or those who just simply want to get involved.

Some of the ongoing activities that we organize, host and / or support to promote school spirit are an annual Halloween Party for all TCS students, Family Fun Nights, Kinderkisses!, Field Day and Staff Appreciation Week. These events, as well as providing materials for the playground and school events and sponsoring an annual scholarship for a Plymouth High School graduate who is a TCS alumni are only possible through fundraising, which we coordinate and do throughout the year. Through all of this activity we enjoy as much socializing and fun as we can.

It costs $5 to join the TCS ~ PTO. You don’t have to be a member of the PTO to participate at Thornton Central School, but membership allows you to vote on formal decisions affecting our group.

The officers of the TCS ~ PTO want to help you get involved, answer questions and do whatever we can to help you support your child’s education. Please feel free to call on us and we hope to see you at some meetings this year. Thank you!
