The Stow PTO is a all-volunteer led parent group dedicated to supplementing and enriching the education of students at Pompositticut & Center Elementary Schools (Grades K-5) and Hale Middle School (Grades 6-8) in Stow, Massachusetts. The PTO consists of two self-running entities: the Pompo Center Support Group (PCSG) and Hale Parent Support Group (Hale PSG).
Throughout the school year, the PCSG raises funds to support arts and cultural programs as well as collateral materials to supplement and enrich the curriculum at the K-5 level. The PCSG has funded cultural arts and science programs including the Bugman, Swamp Ladies, WingMasters, Techsploration, several authors and storytellers. We also purchased much-needed desks for the second grade as well as current events magazines and assignment notebooks for Grades 3, 4 and 5. For community events, we host the annual Lip Sync, Pompo-Center Picnic, Arts Buffet, and the biennial auction, among other activities. And we provide a breadth services to help support the teachers and staff.
The Hale PSG similarly raises funds to support enrichment programs in Grades 6-8. These include special events, assemblies, guest speakers and performers, as well as funds to help with the cost of field trips. Examples are admission to the Museum of Science for the program Wired To Win, admission to the Central Square Theater for the performance The Life of Galileo, Young Audiences of MA performance of Asia Fantasia, Museum of Science Traveling Show Cryo. Heat and Temperature, and more.
As a parent of a child in the K-8 schools, you are automatically a member of the Stow PTO. With your involvement—be it in helping us coordinate or run an event or fundraiser or by supporting it—we can support and give back to our town's schools, and our children.
We hope that you will Join Us throughout the year!
