About the PTO
What Does the PTO Do?
Behind every fun event, smiling teacher, and memorable school tradition is a community of parents who care. The Conant PTO brings families together to support our students, celebrate our amazing staff, and create opportunities that make the school year extra special. From organizing family events and coordinating volunteers to funding classroom resources and school improvements, we're here to help every Conant Cub have an unforgettable year.
Where Does My Donation Money Go?
Every donation helps make Conant an even more amazing place to learn and grow! Your support funds classroom supplies and teacher requests, celebrates our incredible staff during Staff Appreciation Week, and brings favorite traditions to life like Cub Carnival, Breakfast with Buddies, the Fun Run, All-School Dance, Popcorn Days, the Variety Show, Skate Nights, Parent's Night Out, Fifth Grade Farewell, Happy Feet, Disability Awareness programs, hospitality events, school assemblies ... and so much more.
Simply put: your support turns great ideas into unforgettable memories for our Cubs!
