Plus, your membership gives you a voice in voting on important decisions. Your involvement, even if minimal, makes a significant impact! ### "The PTO is just for stay at home moms." Our board and membership represents dads, moms, and all kinds of careers. We hope that we have new people join us at each meeting. Our goal is for everyone who joins PTO to make friends with other members and build a community. ### "Once a member, always a member." PTO membership dues are per year. Show your support of our mission each year by joining the PTO. ### “I have to volunteer a lot of time if I join the PTO.” You can help out as much or as little as your schedule allows, and you don’t have to be at school all the time to be a valuable member of the PTO. ![Pennington Elementary PTO](https://www.penningtonpto.org/hubfs/3-1.svg "Pennington Elementary PTO") - [New to Pennington?](https://www.penningtonpto.org/new) - [Spirit Shop](https://www.penningtonpto.org/spirit-shop) - [Staff Favorites](https://www.penningtonpto.org/staff-favorites) - [News](https://www.penningtonpto.org/news) - [Calendar](https://www.penningtonpto.org/calendar) - [Volunteer](https://www.penningtonpto.org/volunteer) - [Shop to Support](https://www.penningtonpto.org/shopping) - [Car Rider 101](https://www.penningtonpto.org/car-rider-101) - [Library Tutorials](https://www.penningtonpto.org/limitless-libraries-tutorials) - [Membership](https://www.penningtonpto.org/join) - [Contact Us](https://www.penningtonpto.org/contact-us) - [About](https://www.penningtonpto.org/about) * We are a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization.
