How SWPTO Supports our Community and Mission
Great things happen when you join and become part of something good!
School & Community
The Sussex-Wantage PTO provides support for the entire school community! We are committed to providing opportunities for school families to bond and socialize.
Fundraising & Volunteerism
Throughout each school year the SWPTO organizes several fundraisers. The monies raised are used to purchase items and fund programs that support the curriculum and benefit every student. Your support is essential to our funding of these grants.
Enrichment Opportunities
PTO funds support many enrichment opportunities for our staff and children. We fund programs for students and support teachers and staff with some of the “extras” for the classroom that they can’t fit into their budget.
Scholarship Programs
Each spring the PTO awards $500 scholarships to high school seniors who display a significant interest in their community while performing exceptionally well with their studies and extracurricular activities.
