PTSO Priority Fund Update...
The Park: Make It Your Own by investing today!
 
Every single contribution impacts the school!
Here is what one administrator shared about how YOUR support impacts our school...
   
T h e PTSO supports Myers Park in a  more robust way  than any school I have worked at in my  career.  Examples range from personal developm ent such as attending an IB Conference in Bost on, to support of our clubs and their pursuit of the NC Scholastic Cup, to tailored support to serve every kid in the school.  The diversity of experiences our students and staff benefit from our PTSO support is bar none in my experience!  Thank you!
