PTO
Whether you are a new Bugbee family or in your final year, welcome to our PTO page. We’re looking forward to another wonderful school year.
The Bugbee PTO plays an important role in our school community. In addition to providing materials and activities to enrich the educational experience of our children, the PTO has two other important goals: to facilitate productive communication within our school community and to create a positive and inclusive Bugbee community spirit.
Please reach out to us at bugbeepto@gmail.com with any questions, concerns or just to say hello!
