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 as follows. 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.

Tents obtained by PTO. The intent was to purchase them but they were graciously donated by the Colemand Company!
The above Gaga ball pit was donated by The Freund family and has been so popular that PTO has been asked to get a 2nd one and provide turf for each.
