Resource Requests

The Bryant-Pattengill PTO supports our community by using its resources to enhance the education of all students. 

If you are a teacher or other staff member at Bryant-Pattengill, explore the options below to make a resource request for funding for activities or supplies, volunteer support, or information sharing. 

Funding requests

The Bryant-Pattengill PTO raises funds through donations and earnings from PTO-coordinated events. In addition to budgeting funds for PTO activities, the PTO also reserves funds for requests from teachers and other staff members. 

Examples of funding requests:

• Back to school supplies

• Field Trips (student fees + bussing). The current budget allows for one trip per grade outside AAPS trips. If we raise enough money additional trips may be possible.

• Literacy endowment for enrichment books, staff literacy resources, and literacy-based professional development.

• Mini-grants for items not currently covered in the PTO budget. Must benefit an entire grade or school.

To apply for a funding request, teachers must first request approval for the request from their principal. Principal approval should be emailed to treasurer@bryantpattengill.org. Once this is complete, please complete the Funding Request Form.

Volunteer requests

The Bryant-Pattengill PTO can help teachers and other staff find volunteers to help with classroom activities, field trips, and other needs. We can share your volunteer opportunity in various channels, including a monthly PTO newsletter, social media and Principal Newsletter. 

Examples of volunteer requests:

• Room parents who can help organize classroom events, supplies, and parent volunteers.

• Field trip chaperones.

• Classroom support to help with events or class celebrations, math or reading, or specials support

• Behind-the-scenes support at school or from home (e.g., make packets, shelve books, help writing grant)

• Topic experts who can share unique experience or knowledge with your class (e.g., engineer, author, Black History Month)

If you are in need of volunteers for your classroom or for an event, please fill out the Volunteer Requests Form.

Sharing requests

The Bryant-Pattengill PTO serves as a resource to connect the school and families and share information with our community. If your classroom is looking for a particular donation, hosting an event, or has something that should be shared with the community at large, we would be happy to help share that message. 

If you would like us to share something for your classroom, please fill out the Sharing Requests Form and we will do what we can to spread the word!
