PTO MISSION STATEMENT
The Old Union Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a non-profit organization made up of parents and teachers focused on providing programs, resources and services to enrich and maximize the education of OUES students, and to ensure an environment of excellence for our students, teachers and staff. We consist of an Executive Board, Committee Chairs and a General Membership.
The objective of the OUES PTO is to support the students and faculty of OUES in the pursuit of the education of children at OUES through volunteerism, fundraising and the fostering of relationships among the school, parents and teachers.

WHAT IS THE PTO?
The PTO is for everyone! We have a wide range of volunteers who stay-at-home, work part- or full-time, or haveyoung children at home. Much of the PTO work can be done from home on your own schedule or at events at night or weekends. Volunteering is also needed during the school day. Choose what works best for you. We greatly appreciate your help with even one event or task per year!
We welcome everyone and are always seeking volunteers for events and programs year-round. We value our returning volunteers and are excited to welcome new ones each year. We make new friends and enjoy getting to know one another. It’s a great chance to get to know parents from other grades, too.
