There are a variety of events throughout the school year that are sponsored by the PTO. Many of these events are geared toward our annual fundraising efforts; however, the PTO also sponsors several Community Building events. Through all of the events, the PTO’s goal is to continue to strengthen the Cottonwood community in an effort to make it the best possible environment for our children to learn, grow and succeed.
