Welcome Back!
The PTO supports various activities during the school year that provide fun and enriching experiences for our students. The PTO budget for the 2014-2015 school year is $30,000.
Enrichment
The largest portion of our budget goes to Enrichment, our top priority. Last year, over $30,000 was spent to arrange exciting and meaningful learning opportunities for our children. Unlike many schools, there are no additional fees for field trips at Joshua Eaton. The total costs are covered by the PTO. We have offered many programs in the past year such as:
Talking Cello Curious Creatures
Discovery Museum Drumlin Farm
Top Secret Science Plimoth Plantation
Smarty Plants Geography Game Show
Boston Symphony Orchestra Danielle Nies - Meteorologist
Wing Masters MoS Electromagnetism
Butterfly Life Cycles Dig It Geology
Karim Nagi Bamidele Dancers & Drummers
Harvard Museum of Natural History Star Lab Planetarium Dome
Boston Tea Party Museum Lowell National Park
Read Across America Writing Workshops
As part of the annual Read Across America celebration, Enrichment also provides reading and writing workshops with award winning authors such as Kathleen Duble, Jon Goode, and Chris Van Dusen.
