Grow a stronger school community, one family at a time
Join the PTO that turns everyday generosity into extraordinary opportunities for every McMahon student — from classroom supplies to field trips, literacy nights to community gardens.
Building the foundation behind every student's success
Empower Every Family
We create welcoming pathways for all families to participate in their child's education — regardless of background, schedule, or experience level. Every voice matters at McMahon.
Enrich Learning Experiences
From arts integrators and reading volunteers to science fairs and outdoor classrooms — our funding and programming extend far beyond what standard budgets allow.
Strengthen Community Bonds
We bring families, educators, and local organizations together through shared events, collaborative projects, and a culture of mutual support that lasts well beyond the school year.
There's a place for you here
You don't need to commit to everything — just find what fits your life. Whether you have an hour a month or an hour a week, your contribution makes a measurable difference in a child's day.
- Event volunteers — Help run fundraisers, festivals, and classroom helpers
- Committee members — Shape planning for annual events and initiatives
- Board participants — Guide strategy, budgets, and long-term vision
- Classroom supporters — Read with students, assist teachers, chaperone outings
- Donors — Contribute funds that directly purchase supplies and fund programs
No obligation — just a conversation about how you'd like to contribute.

The difference community makes
A McMahon Parent PTO Volunteer & Committee MemberJoining the PTO was the best decision I made when my daughter started at McMahon. I found friendships, a sense of purpose, and the satisfaction of knowing our collective effort directly shaped her daily experience.
A McMahon Educator Faculty MemberThe arts program at our school wouldn't exist without PTO support. My students get to work with visiting artists, attend live performances, and create in spaces that inspire them every single day.
A McMahon Family Community MembersWhat strikes me most is how intentional the PTO is about making everyone feel like they belong — new families, long-time residents, and everyone in between. That's the kind of community that makes a school special.
