The R. B. Hunt PTAO welcomes you!

The R. B. Hunt Parent Teacher Advisory Organization (PTAO) actively strives to help parents and teachers cooperate in the education of our students. We are responsible for organizing and promoting fundraisers, fostering goodwill and communication between parents and teachers, holding family-oriented functions and many other services. All monies raised through P.T.A.O. are used to enrich our children’s education by providing supplies and materials, as well as improving the school building and its grounds. We encourage parental involvement and believe it is key to our children’s best possible educational experience.
