PTO STANDS FOR Parent Teacher Organization
The Dr. John C. Page has a very active PTO. The objectives of the West Newbury PTO are:
1. To promote the welfare of children in the home, school and
community.
2. To bring into closer relationship the home and the school, so that
parents and teachers may work cooperatively in the training of their
children.
3. To develop united efforts between educators and the general public
and to secure for every child the highest advantage in physical,
mental and social education.
4. To assist the schools financially through a variety of fund-raising
events within the school year.
