YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS OUR SCHOOL
A $25 (suggested) contribution per family goes a long way towards providing the Cornelia PTO with funds we use throughout the year for things like teacher grants, teacher appreciation, and PTO activities and events. However, no financial contribution is required to join the PTO or participate in PTO-sponsored activities. We want all Cornelia families to participate in our school in whatever way they are able.
