Join the PTO to help provide learning enrichment opportunities for our kids

The PTO is a large part of what makes Cornwall Elementary the amazing place it is for our kids. We have awesome teachers and awesome administrators but the PTO is the backbone that runs and supports all the special events like the Christmas Shop, Cornwall Reads, Movie Nights, Skating Parties, the Cornwalk Fun Run and Festival and the Garden. We fund field trips and special treats like the ventriloquist show before Christmas last year and the dunking booth at the Cornwalk. Your support of our fundraisers is always amazing BUT it's the parent volunteers that make ALL these things happen. Come out and join us in making these great things happen for all the students at Cornwall. They can't happen without you!
