The Ehrhardt PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is a non-profit organization made up of the parents and staff of Ehrhardt Elementary School. The purpose of the Ehrhardt PTO is to promote the welfare of children in the school, home and community; to enrich the education of children; and to foster communication, understanding, cooperation and a sense of community among students, parents, and faculty and school administrators.

Each year, the PTO and volunteers at Ehrhardt plan and coordinate fundraising events to provide many exciting learning opportunities, social activities and enriching programs for the students at Ehrhardt Elementary. All of the funds raised by the Ehrhardt PTO are then dispersed to activities, equipment, and educational tools within our school.

We are very appreciative of the wonderful volunteers that give their time and talents to help make Ehrhardt a wonderful place to learn. As officers of the PTO, we strongly encourage you to get involved with your students scholastic career. This can be accomplished in various ways. There are many opportunities to do things from home as well as at the school.
The PTO can only be as successful as its family of members, so please join us in helping our children’s precious years of elementary school become wonderful memories in the future. For help in getting started or for more info please contact Lori Ball or Chayla Hedding (listed below).
