At Edison, we believe in going above and beyond to create an exceptional learning environment. While public funding provides the foundation, your contributions to the PTO make the magic happen. From enriching programs to essential resources, every dollar directly impacts our students' success.

 

Your generosity fuels vital initiatives that enhance the educational experience at Edison. We fund:

  • Innovative technology and classroom supplies
  • Teacher and staff appreciation
  • Special projects that foster creativity and growth

 

The PTO is more than just fundraising. We're a vibrant community working together to create lasting memories and connections. Through family events and volunteer opportunities, we foster a sense of belonging and shared purpose.

 

Our mission is to enrich the educational journey of every Edison student by fostering a strong and supportive community. We achieve this through fundraising, engaging events, and collaborative partnerships.

 

Join us in shaping the future of Edison! Whether you donate, volunteer, or attend an event, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can empower our students to thrive.

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Edison PTO is to enhance the educational experience at Edison Regional Gifted Center by supporting students and staff, fostering community connections, and encouraging meaningful family contributions of time, talent, and financial support.

 

Edison PTO is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves as the fundraising and hospitality arm of Edison. We raise funds to supplement the public dollars Edison receives, and we sponsor community-building events to give Edison's student body and staff a chance to connect outside of the classroom. By supporting each other and having fun doing it, we can continue to enhance the educational experience for current and future Edison students.
