Parent Teacher Organization

St. Columban’s Parent Teacher Organization is a vital link between home and school. This important group promotes goodwill and cooperation within the school community. Through volunteer efforts, fundraisers, and other activities, the PTO gives support to the faculty and principal, contributes supplies and projects for improvement of the school, and provides special programs and materials for the children.

Parents are urged to join and take an active part in the PTO. We rely on our wonderful volunteers to help our school community remain vibrant!

Please email pto@saintcolumbanschool.org with any questions or comments.

Involvement & Volunteering

Whether as room parent; cafeteria, library, playground or classroom volunteer; coach, chaperone or committee member, our volunteers play a key role in the success of our school. Parent and guardian volunteers have a firsthand opportunity to see their child’s daily activities and interactions, meet their teachers and friends, and have an active role in their child’s school environment.
