We have tasks that can be performed in the evenings, during the day or that don’t even involve coming to the school at all. Volunteering doesn’t mean a huge time commitment. The PTO only asks two hours per month in support of a school activity such as running the concession stand during sporting events.

The PTO works closely with the Banneker Administration and Teachers, recognizing their hard work during “Teacher Appreciation Week” and throughout the school year. We help raise much needed funds to provide a wide range of educational support which includes class trips, extracurricular activities, the science fair, winter ball, books and classroom supplies ensuring every child’s success. Every year, our PTO helps to oversee the needs and development of the school.
