What We Do
The Clifford School PTO helps provide enrichment programs, social events, classroom material and financial support to the school. Each year, thanks to parents, staff, and community members’ generous contributions, the Clifford School PTO is able to pay for vital programs and services which would otherwise be unavailable.
See our Bylaws (currently in Draft form) here.
