Committees
The ongoing partnership between parents, teachers, and administration is what enables the Mariposa PTO to make such a positive difference in our children’s education.
The PTO offers a variety of volunteering opportunities to suit the talents, resources, and available time of all our Mariposa families. As little as a half an hour of your time can tremendously impact what the PTO can do for Mariposa.
Look over our committee list and see what’s right for you and your family. Have a new idea? Let us know.
