Welcome to the Graystone Academy PTO Page!

The PTO is an active group of school parents, families, community members and teachers that operate as a separate entity from the school. Our goal is to assist the school with fund raising, community events, help the administration and staff and enrich the experiences of our students at our school. We welcome all parent participation and hope you will become active with the PTO. For more information, please contact one of the officers below:

Comments Krista Lewis, PTO President, " In the 2005-2006 school year the PTO raised nearly $15,000! This is all money that goes back into our school to support the students and the staff. We are happy to give every student an agenda this fall for the 2006-2007 school year. "

Parents are required to donate 2 hours a month to GACS as part of a students enrollment. We assist parents by providing a volunteer lounge area within the parent viewing room (the area where the classrooms can be viewed on TV monitors.) The lounge has available coffee, tea and light snacks for the enjoyment of our volunteers.

Financial Donations Are Always Appreciated!

We are always happy to accept donations of money (check preferred). In the past, parents have donated larger sums to fund the library and playground equipment. Please make checks payable to: GACS PTO.

Contact Your Child's Teacher for Items on their WISH LIST -- Every teacher has a wish list of items they need in thier classroom for special projects or to assist year round. Plus a gift certificate to a teacher's supply store, AC Moore or Michaels Crafts can go a long way in showing appreciation to your student's teacher.

Thanks for all your donations and support!
