We are the Brown Elementary PTO
Our purpose is to aid Brown School students in achieving their fullest potential by providing educational and personal enrichment and to encourage the cooperative interaction of parents, teachers, and the community.

What We Do
-
Community Events
The PTO sponsors several events throughout the year that allow students and their families to connect and socialize outside the classroom environment.
-
Cultural Arts
The primary goal is to expose the Brown Community to authors, artists and performers through performances and exhibits at our school.
-
Teacher Support
The PTO supports our teachers and staff members with stipends and supplies along with our Teacher Timesavers program.
-
Fundraising
We earn money to give it back to the kids and teachers. This money is carefully used to enrich the education experience for our children.
Make a Donation
We cannot do this without your support! Any amount is welcome.
A $35 donation per child funds cultural arts programming for one student for the year.
A $75 donation funds cultural arts as well as teacher supplies, our community events, and PTO admin costs (insurance, for example).
The direct donation drive allows us to do fewer fundraisers, which means that 100% of your donation goes directly to the programs funded by the Brown PTO.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Multicultural Night! Over 300 people attended this wonderful showcase of cultures from around the world!
