What Does a PTO Do?

So…what exactly does a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) do ? Where does the money from fundraisers go? And how does my family benefit?

Those are important questions that many parents and caregivers have when they see the PTO Meeting notices go out, fundraising information come home, or see posters up at the school about an upcoming event.
