At Marie Reed, we  believe that when families and educators work in authentic partnerships, the following will happen: Student outcomes improve, teachers are more effective, families are honored and valued, and the community becomes stronger than the individual parts. 

Our non traditional PTO works in hubs, each with a particular focus, and are coordinated by Marie Reed parents and a teachers.   If you find a hub that motivates you, please contact one of the hub’s coordinator at mariereedpto@gmail.com to participate and/or volunteer in one, or as many activities as you are able.
