At the Princeton Middle School PTO, our job is simple: make this school a better place for the kids and the staff, and help parents actually get to know each other while we're at it.
PMS PTO is all of us, and together we keep it vibrant, diverse, and inclusive. This year we're keeping the favorites, adding a few new things, and continuing our support for art, culture, and classroom needs. None of it happens without you.
You don't need a title or a lot of free time to be part of this. Show up to one event, sign up for one shift, or just say hi. That's how a community gets built.

From creative arts to STEM to games and more, PTO support helps make a wide range of after school clubs and activities possible — giving kids fun ways to explore their interests and make new friends beyond the classroom.
