Whether you are new to Farney or just to PTO — we are glad you have stopped by! PTO is the best way we have found to get involved in the life and education of our kids.
Why PTO?
Our school is supported by a dedicated PTO that coordinates both volunteer opportunities and fundraising efforts to benefit our children and the school community as a whole. Funds raised are used to purchase the “extras” we want for our children that are not funded by the state or local taxes.
I Don’t Have The Time to Volunteer…
Please still consider joining the PTO (no volunteering required) - we are stronger together! Your once a school year donation of $10 for the PTO membership helps to offset costs for many of the “extra” activities and experiences we are so lucky to be able to offer to our students each year.
Want to get involved? Here are the steps we suggest:
--> Register on this Membership Toolkit site <--
This is a great website to stay up-to-date with PTO activity related information. Registering makes it easier to connect, communicate, volunteer, donate and make spirit gear purchases online. Signing up is free and quick!
*This is a separate step from joining the PTO...and it is FREE! This is where you enter/update your information for the online directory. If you purchase a PTO membership, you can ACCESS the directory!*
--> Buy/Renew an Annual Farney PTO Membership <--
Farney's PTO exists to bring parents and teachers together to provide programs and supportive tools for our student's education that they wouldn't otherwise receive. Membership is $10, which needs to be renewed at the start of each school year to be considered an active member.
You may purchase a membership through our online Spirit Store at any time, or even via cash/check/credit card at any of our events on campus. Come find us! We’d love to have your support!
Additionally, the annual membership gives you access to the school directory (think birthday party invitation info).
The MembershipToolkit software that our PTO uses provides a secure, automated system to stay in touch with email communication, provide a directory to all families and track membership and fundraising. All information is kept private and is never shared or sold.
--> GET CONNECTED <--
Farney Elementary PTO has a Facebook page, Instagram account and an X page (formerly Twitter) feed where we push out relevant updates about upcoming events. Follow us on any/all of the platforms!
--> VolunteerING <--
Whether you have 30 minutes once a month or larger chunks of time, your willingness to volunteer makes a big difference in our school! Most Farney volunteers work full or part time, so there are a lot of options to fit your schedule! Here's a link to our current Sign Ups available, as well as our various committees supporting our school. *You will need to be a registered and logged in user of Membership Toolkit to see the volunteer openings. Not registered yet? It's FREE! Register now!*
P.S. - While we love and look forward to seeing our future Falcons, unfortunately they are not allowed to participate in any volunteering activities.
