    What We Do

    The Auxier PTO works hard with teachers, staff, parents and families to help transform Auxier from a pile of bricks to a community built for helping our students thrive. In the past, we have been blessed with financial donations which have been able to purchase much needed equipment for the school. For example, the PTO purchased laptops and desktops computers for students to use during their school day. Also, with school security being at the forefront of most parents’ minds, we have purchased communication radios for staff to use. To help relieve some of the summer’s heat, we have had a shade structure constructed at our drop off/pick up area.
    While Auxier has come a long way in the short time it has been open and has attained the esteemed Lighthouse Status with the Leader In Me program, our current goals for fundraising will help Auxier grow in the STEM department – by expanding the Project Lead The Way program for our students.

    With monetary fundraising, we have been able to complete quite a few goals in the past couple years. Our outlook is also expanding from not only what can we do within our school, but how can we also help our community. In the 2018-2019 school year, we started a small campaign in conjunction with our final book fair to provide books for children in foster care. We are planning to expand this campaign a little more each year, with the hopes that it becomes an amazing community outreach program for Auxier.
