About the PTO
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
- Engaging after-school programs
- Teacher appreciation and development opportunities
- Special projects that foster creativity and growth
- ...and so much more!
This year, the PTO is proud to have a budget exceeding $150,000 - that's over $600 per student! These funds directly support programs and resources that enrich the educational experience for every Edison student.
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.

The Edison PTO mission is to aid staff in their efforts to educate all Edison students and bring together the far-flung families that make up the school. We can achieve this by building a supportive community of parents, staff and students through fundraising efforts, hospitality and family events.
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.
