Book Fair

A big THANK YOU to all who volunteered to help with our recent Book Fair and donated to our Teacher Wish Lists! All attendees - students, staff and administrators enjoyed their visits. We sold over $12,000 in books and filled all teacher wish lists! We also earned nearly $6,000 in scholastic dollars to give back to the school which will provide for purchases such as smart boards for classrooms, STEM carts and curriculum enhancements.

Raise Craze & Thanksgiving Basket Brigade

A HUGE thank you for all of the Raise Craze & Basket Brigade donations and support. Our AGCS community rocks!

Holiday Shop

Many thanks to our volunteers for helping to make this year's Holiday Shop a great success! We had a last minute schedule change due to the winter weather closing and many folks adjusted their calendars and helped us close out another great Holiday Shop! Our students are so grateful for your efforts!

Our Mission

The AGCS-PTO is focused on supporting the education of all students in The Avon Grove Charter School by fostering relationships among the school, parents and teachers.

The AGCS Parent Teacher Organization is a not-for-profit entity that works closely with administration and teachers to support and enhance the daily school experience of all students by helping to fund the purchase of curriculum, technology, site renovations, educational assemblies, and field trip assistance to students in need.

There are also lots of FREE ways you can help AGCS through programs like Box Tops for Education, Amazon Smile, and more. 

In lieu of a traditional catalog based fundraiser, the PTO also utilizes a Direct Donation Program. Please complete the AGCS PTO Direct Donation Online Form to make a donation with a credit card, eCheck, cash, or check.  100% of your donation directly impacts the funding of important school enrichment programs and helps our school continue to provide a quality education for all of our students. We have set a donation goal of $25.00 per student or $50.00 per family, although any amount your family can give will be greatly appreciated. 

Please visit our Facebook Page for meeting dates and more information.

Whether you are a mom, dad, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or guardian, there is a place for you. Whether you have 5 hours a week or 5 hours a year, there is a place for you.

The PTO provides fun activities for our students and families, and raises much-needed funding for programs; your ideas, time, and talents are essential to these goals. 

Please note that depending on what you volunteer for, Volunteer Clearances may be required. We would be happy to guide you through the process.

We are looking forward to an amazing year!
