Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

The St. Malachy Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a dedicated and dynamic group of parents and teachers whose purpose is to support the education of our children.

The PTO provides assistance to teachers, raises funds for educational materials and experiences, advocates school and family social interaction, and provides an unbiased forum for sharing information that impacts our children. We believe the team effort of our PTO offers the best possible learning environment for our students. Please click the tabs above to learn more!   

All About PTO

We are very proud of our dedicated and dynamic Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The PTO strives to promote communication, enhance our educational environment, coordinate volunteer efforts, and create a sense of
community within our Shamrock family. 

To facilitate these goals, the PTO organizes several school-wide events including get-to-know-you programs, skating parties, and family movie nights. The annual trash bag sale provides financial support for enrichment activities for students and parents. Please consider volunteering in
one of the many available areas - a great way to serve our
school alongside other Shamrocks!
