St. Thomas More PTO

Welcome to St. Thomas More PTO

We are incredibly blessed at St. Thomas More – not just with the awesome teachers and staff, but with the parents who are committed to all of the students at STM. Partnerships between parents, educators and children enhance children’s success. We know that children learn more and have better lives when everyone in the school community works together to share thoughts and information and work on projects to benefit children. STM PTO provides funds, time, and talent that benefit the children at our school. We would love for you to join us.
