| ABOUT OUR PTO

OUR MISSION

The Prospect PTO exists to enrich, enhance and supplement the educational experiences of the students, faculty, and families of Prospect School. We strive to help provide the best learning environment possible through the cooperative efforts of the Prospect community and the community at large.

Volunteers strengthen the school community by working in and outside the classroom, helping the school run smoothly and raising funds for programs and activities that enrich our children’s education. Our students will enjoy the benefits, and parents will have the satisfaction of knowing their involvement can make a difference. By volunteering, you are contributing to making ALL kinds of educational opportunities, events and experiences happen for ALL Prospect students!
