Our Mission

The mission of the Van Antwerp PTO is to promote the welfare and education of our children in the home, school and community, and to foster communication among parents, guardians, caregivers, teachers, and staff.

We are an all-volunteer group who work with the VA staff to support annual events over the course of the year. We help to plan, raise funds, and ensure the events are well-run so our students can have a great time.

  • Mary-Jane Rooney - President
  • Amy Pickett- Vice President
  • Vicky Wagenbaugh - Treasurer

  • TBD - Communications Chair
