About

The Trace Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is first and foremost, a support system for the school. When the district is unable to provide funding or opportunities, the PTO steps up to help build a richer school environment.

Supporting Merritt Trace Elementary

Trace PTO typically sponsors school events throughout the year to create a stronger community bond and create memories for the students that will hopefully last a lifetime. Many of these events are fundraisers. The PTO is a 501c non-profit organization and all proceeds through fundraising efforts come back to directly benefit the school.

Trace PTO helps fund:

• Our VPA programs:
  • Equipment, costumes, and supplies for our drama, art, and music classes (part of the Visual Performing Arts Program) provided for all Trace students
  • Instruments for our after-school strings and band program
  • T-shirts for the grade level shows
• Annual Science Fair
• After school enrichment programs (i.e. Math Kangaroo, Skateboarding, Folklorico, etc.)
• Encouraging safe walking and biking to school through our Walk n’ Roll Committee
• School supplies, PE Equipment, etc.
• Project Cornerstone parent volunteer programs that build student character, support anti-bullying lessons, and expand cultural awareness
• Trace Angels
