ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
The Mills Lawn School (MLS) Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501c3 organization that strives to support students, families, and teachers. The PTO works to ensure that all Mills Lawn Students have access to full participation in Mills Lawn school, class, and grade-wide activities.​
This mission is carried out through fundraising and designing events that support Mills Lawn teachers, classes, kids, and our community.
Last year, through our Street Fair fundraisers and the gifts of our Bulldog Backers, PTO funded close to $15,000 of educational materials, experiences, and events.
The money we raise goes right to where it makes a difference: our kids' educational experiences. Please find a way to join us!
