St. John Paul II PTO: A Closer Look at What We DoOur PTO plays an important role at St. John Paul II Catholic School: it provides many of the benefits our children, parents, and teachers enjoy. We are not merely a fundraising machine; rather, we strive to create a stronger community, an enriched experience for our students, and a more pleasant environment for our teachers and staff. Here is a sample of the programs and activities we organize, staff with volunteers, and/or support financially:

- Fun, student-focused activities like after-school Skate Day Parties, Birthday Recognition, annual Pumpkin Patch, Class Christmas Parties, Snacks with Santa, Run with the Saints, & Fun In The Sun Day
- Community support through our Bread Basket to assist StJPII families in difficult times
- Room Parent support and Library Aides to assist our teachers during the school day
- Volunteer assistance with Mass and religious events through our Altar Society
- A continuous supply of delicious food for staff and faculty at monthly Faculty Meetings, First Friday lunches, and themed, catered Staff Appreciation Luncheons twice a year
- Our Spirit Store offers StJPII logo-embossed items and apparel to show school spirit and donates numerous items for school events
- Teacher and staff gifts given at 'Back-to-School' time, Christmas, our bi-annual Staff Appreciation Luncheons, and the end-of-the-year “thank-you” gifts
- Monthly Teacher Wish List drawings, awarding 3 teachers each month with $200 to use for their classrooms to purchase supplies that benefit our students’ education
- Hospitality service at numerous school functions, like Grandparents’ Day, New Student Testing, New Family Registration, Saints Welcome, and PTO meetings
