JMP PTO

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) coordinates many enrichment programs, raises funds for supplemental educational materials and experiences, and supports school and social interaction.

The Edison school district's budget is focused primarily on instructional expenses. Therefore, funding is generally not available for additional activities. As a result, to benefit our school children, the JMP PTO conducts fundraisers to sponsor these additional activities.

The mission of the JMP PTO is to promote open communication and understanding among parents and staff of JMP school.  Our purpose is to enhance and maximize the education of every child while aiding them in achieving their highest potential.

But as you can imagine, to achieve these goals we need active participation. We need monetary donations and most importantly donations of your time. When parents get involved in their children's education, grades go up, children feel positive about themselves and they become better socially developed.

Volunteering doesn't mean a huge time commitment. Whatever your time schedule and interests we have a need of you!!

What Does the PTO Do?

Coordinate educational experiences as the Summer Reading Program and various assemblies.

Provide funding for student-centered activities, such as class trips, Field Day, and Pumpkin Patch.

Provide gifts to school such as supplemental classroom books and games, recess equipment, Welcome Packet planners/folders, and other school equipment.

Bring the JMP community together with our evening family events such as Fun Nights, Bingo Night, Movie Night, Restaurant Nights and Theatre Week.

Help to promote cultural awareness through our Diwali, Lunar New Year and Thanksgiving Feast events.

Provide opportunities for the students to learn about purchasing products and giving to others such as Book Fair, Holiday Boutique, and Plant Sale.

Coordinate Teacher Appreciation week to recognize the dedication of our teachers and staff.
