The Zervas PTO is committed to promoting the core values that guide the school, and to enhancing the education of our children. Our efforts primarily focus on three areas:
- Strengthening a sense of community by bringing families together.
- Harnessing the energy, expertise, and enthusiasm of parents who want to volunteer in the school.
- Raising money to support the school and to provide important programs.
