The Miner PTO

The Miner Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a community of parents, guardians, teachers, and neighbors working together to support Miner students and staff.

Get Involved

We have five standing committees that plan events, support families and teachers, raise funds, and strengthen community ties:

  • Appreciation & Recognition – Celebrate teachers, staff, and volunteers

  • Communications – Share updates, take photos at events, and manage outreach

  • Community Engagement – Build partnerships and advocate for Miner

  • Family Engagement & Events – Plan school events and family activities

  • Fundraising & Grants – Lead fundraising efforts

Every parent, guardian, and school employee is automatically a member—no sign-up or dues required.
