VALUE OF PTO MEMBERSHIP

The PTO is an organization made up of parents, teachers and other school employees who have an interest in the Bill Burden Elementary children, families, and school itself.  By joining the PTO, a member becomes part of a child advocacy group as diverse as the school is in cultures, education levels, and parenting skills.

Joining the PTO supports the efforts at the local level to improve the education of children and the lives of families here in the Liberty Hill Independent School District.  Membership provides the opportunity for individuals to raise their voices with others in the community to support children's education and rights.  Membership ensures the PTOs voices is heard on issues affecting our young people as well as providing opportunities for parent education, communication, and leadership development.

Getting involved in PTO builds skills in leadership, communication, and advocacy.  Active members are a valuable community resource for starting and maintaining projects to benefit our children.

Give Back.  By becoming a part of PTO, you will be part of the solution.  As you speak up, you will help make positive changes in your child's school and in the lives of many children.  

Effectively Engage.  Spending quality time with your child through PTO programs, events, and resources not only shows how much you care about them but will also demonstrate the importance you place on their education and helps them perform better academically.
