Our organization is committed to supporting the education and development of our students by fostering a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and the community. The PTO is run by dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to organize events, fundraisers, and programs that benefit our students and staff. We are proud to be part of a community that values education and invests in the success of our children.
We encourage all parents and guardians to get involved with the PTO, whether by attending meetings, volunteering at events, or sharing ideas for how we can improve our school. Your support and participation are essential to the success of our organization and to the success of our students.
We are excited to share with you the upcoming events organized by the PTO! We have planned a variety of activities for our students and families throughout the school year to support their learning, growth, and well-being.

Staff Appreciation Week - May 8th-12th Calling All Crew Members (parents)!!
Planning for the celebratory week of Staff Appreciation has started! It takes a village, and the more that is generously donated, the more we can "appreciate" our star-like teachers and staff.

Every dollar counts to make this week truly special! When donating using Venmo, please use @wrentham-pto, please include "staff appreciation" in the note.

Event Coordinators Needed:
We are in need of someone to coordinate the Father/daughter/special someone dance for Grade 6. If we do not find someone the event will be canceled. Please contact us if you are willing to help. This is a very low-key event that does not take a lot of planning!
Ongoing Fundraisers:
Stop and Shop Community Bag Program
We are so excited to share that Wrentham Elementary PTO has been selected to benefit from Stop & Shop’s Community Bag Program, which makes it easy for customers to contribute to their local communities. For the month of April, whenever a $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at the Stop & Shop located at 109 Taunton Street, Plainville, MA, $1 will be donated to the Wrentham Elementary PTO. This is a great way to broaden awareness and help our cause. Let’s get started! Share the news to friends and family. Call, send emails and post on social media. The more people who purchase the Community Bag in April, the more we can raise! To learn more about this program, please visit stopandshop.2givelocal.com.
