Bishop PTO
The PTO is the Bishop community, working together to make our school the best it can be. We strive toward two goals: enriching our children's educational experience and building community spirit at Bishop school.
We accomplish this by funding all the wide range of events and activities throughout the year and by supplementing the resources available to the school and our teachers. Learn more about the PTO >
