Please join us for our next restaurant night at Pita Way on Thursday, April 23!
The Bryant-Pattengill PTO is an all-volunteer community of parents, caregivers, and teachers dedicated to creating positive, enriching experiences for every child at Bryant and Pattengill. Our goal is to make every family feel that this is their community, where all voices are valued, everyone can contribute, and our collective care helps students thrive. All parents, guardians, and teachers are automatically members, there is no fee to join, and everyone is welcome at PTO meetings to share ideas, feedback, and help shape our schools' experiences.
