Earhart Environmental Magnet PTO
Wichita, KS
Earhart PTO is a group of parents and teachers working together to support the students at Earhart Environmental Magnet. We strive to support Earhart's mission and goals. No dues are charged to be a member of PTO!
We are responsible for planning and are actively involved in several activities and events throughout the year. Some of those include: coordinating staff conference luncheons, scheduling spirit nights at our local businesses, giving each student Earhart T-shirts, setting up an Earhart Merchandise store, coordinating teacher appreciation week meals and gifts, and of course hosting our one and only fundraiser, Fall Festival.

New Goals for 2024 -2025
PTO plans to purchase tools to enhance camp experience and allow student to truly "bee explorers". Purchases will be made after Fall Festival to ensure we have the appropriate funds but the examples of the materials we are considering are things such as Binoculars, bug nets and boxes, fishing gear, and general upgrades of camp supplies.
See our fundraising tab for more details on our budget.
Purchases from 2023-2024
Example of holiday treats set up for staff.
Tents obtained by PTO. The intent was to purchase them, but they were graciously donated by the Coleman Company!
The above Gaga ball pit was donated by The Freund family and has been so popular that PTO has purchased a 2nd one and plans to provide turf for each.
2023 student shirts.
4 different holiday family sponsorship packages.
Solar Eclipse glasses for the whole school.
*** A TP was on our list with the support of our 259 board member's husband. However, he passed away so this project was no longer feasible. We are still working on turf for the Gaga ball pits.
