- The Parent Organization of Porter Board is made up of 4
parent volunteers who dedicate their time and energy, along with many other energetic
parents to help the school raise money for special activities and supplies. Every year is
different, new, and challenging. We are always looking for parents to be a part of this
team.

the students vote on their favorite print and P.O.P. pays to have the print mounted,
engraved and framed. The prints from the last 9 years are displayed in the hallways of the
school.
- .... Shade Ramada on the playground
between the swings was purchased with funds raised by Parents of Porter.

-
- .....P.O.P. has basically
fulfilled a wish list that was created back in 92-93 by a Porter parent's survey. We hope
this will help you better understand the importance of fund raisers done by P.O.P. and
Student Council here at Porter. As many of you already know our schools do not receive
adequate funding to cover all the special needs our students and teachers require.
Our involvement as parents is very important. Our children need us to be involved. The
more interest we show in our children's education the more interest they show, which only
benefits our children and our community.

- Thanks for your continued support
