Fundraising
In addition to providing programs to create a wonderful experience for students, the PTO also raises funds to provide some of the items on the school's yearly wish list. While fundraising is not our primary goal, it is an important aspect of the PTO.
Money raised by the PTO sponsored events helps purchase supplemental materials for Liberty ECS students and staff. One of our main focuses has been bringing interactive experiences to the students. The PTO gladly works to provide some of the extras that our students and teachers receive. In the past, some of these extras have been:
- Additional resources for the media hub
- Playground equipment
- Social events
- Family nights
- PAWS Popcorn Parties
- Outdoor classroom enhancements
- Field trip transportation
