What is PTO and how does PTO Support Storm?
what is pto?
PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organization, a school-based organization with a mission to make school a better place for students to learn. We are a partnership of parents, family members, teachers and administrators that work together to create fun events, purchase supplies for students and staff, and collaborate with others to make our student’s time at school the best possible. If you have a student at HC Storm, you're already a member! We'd love for you to get more involved. We all work better when we work together

The Giving tree
The H.C. Storm Giving Tree allows parents to donate any teacher requested classroom items throughout the year. For this year the virtual tree will be available here all year long, updated with any new teacher requests. Items will be listed in order of grade level. We are trying to be as flexible as possible with returning items back to school. You may send items to school with your child or drop them off at the front door of HC Storm for the staff to deliver directly to the classroom. If those do not work, please just reach out to Katie Kramer klicciardi@gmail.com to arrange a pick up. Please also return item within 1 week of selecting an item off our "tree".
