Mission

Varnum Brook Elementary School PTO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit group that strives to enhance our children’s school and educational experience while attending VBES. 

Our PTO brings parents, teachers, and staff together to connect, support, and enrich our school community. From organizing family-friendly events to supporting classroom needs, here’s how we make a difference:

• Fundraising & Resources: We organize fun and impactful fundraisers that help us purchase classroom supplies, provide additional special activity funding, and provide enriching programs.
  
  

• Community Building: We host events such as movie nights, breakfast with Santa, and family dance nights to foster a strong sense of belonging and school spirit. These gatherings help create meaningful connections between families, staff, and students.
  
  

• Volunteer Coordination: We recruit and organize parent volunteers for special events and teacher appreciation initiatives—helping the school operate more smoothly and inclusively.
  
  

• Supporting Teachers: Whether through grants for classroom materials, coordinating appreciation week, or ensuring volunteers are available when needed, we help our teachers shine.
