The Shirley Lanham Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is composed of an Executive Board and a General Board. The Executive Board consists of four elected officers and the General Board consists of a number of appointed chairpersons.

The PTO actively supports Lanham Elementary School and provides several fund raising functions throughout the school year. The PTO's major fundraising events include an annual Fall Bazaar and a Spring Carnival.

The Lanham PTO provides a myriad of services and activities for the benefit and enjoyment of our students, parents and the community ~ often including free movies for students on in-service days, book fairs, grade level programs, hayrides, dances, Open House, Halloween parades and costume contests, a school store and a much appreciated volunteer program.

All parents are encouraged and invited to join the PTO and are welcome at all meetings. A PTO membership drive is held at the beginning of each school year, during which time parents and community members can sign-up to help plan and participate in committees and activities throughout the school year.
