PTO

Gary D Wright “GDW” PTO is a parent-teacher organization where our staff and families come together to provide the best possible educational and social experience/environment for all our Wildcat Families and Staff. The PTO focuses on fundraising throughout the year to help support GDW classrooms, volunteering at student events, decorating and planning alongside with the GDW staff.

Activities that are planned for the 2025-26 school year are:

  • Kindergarten Kick-Off
     
  • Family Social Night
     
  • Walk-a-Thon
     
  • Dine n’ Share Nights
     
  • Family Social Night
     
  • Parent & Child Activity Events

We are excited to bring back some old traditions and activities which will be announced later in the year!

For the 2025-2026 school year, we are looking for parent volunteers! In the event you are interested in volunteering or have questions, please contact one of the PTO Board Members. We welcome all parents to attend our open PTO meetings and encourage parents to sign-up to volunteer at events. 

PTO Meetings are generally held every other month in the GDW Library. Stay tuned for meeting dates planned for the 2025-26 school year!
