The ongoing partnership between parents, teachers, and administration is what enables the Mariposa PTO to make such a positive difference in our children's education.
The PTO offers a variety of volunteering opportunities to suit the talents, resources, and available time of all our Mariposa families. As little as a half an hour of your time can tremendously impact what the PTO can do for Mariposa.
