How can I support the PTO?
One of the primary functions of the PTO is to raise funds that are 100% used to support Julia Green. Click here for a list of the giving opportunities to help your family or business plan how you might support Julia Green this year.

INVEST is Julia Green’s annual giving campaign and the PTO’s largest source of funding. INVEST ensures our students have access to the resources and experiences that make their education exceptional. Every dollar raised directly supports our school community.

We welcome your time and talents and encourage every family to find opportunities to volunteer and participate in the time-honored traditions that make Julia Green the special place it is. You may complete our volunteer interest form or email juliagreenpto@gmail.com to get involved!
