La Vernia Intermediate PTO

Part I, Line 16

“Lavernia Intermediate PTO would like to provide additional context regarding our reported expenses for this tax period. As a parent-teacher organization, our mission is to support the students, faculty, and overall educational environment of Lavernia Intermediate. The following categories reflect intentional investments made throughout the year to fulfill that mission: Teacher Incentives: Funds were allocated to recognize and motivate our teachers for their continued dedication and hard work. These incentives included classroom support, rewards tied to participation in school initiatives, and small tokens of appreciation to boost morale and engagement. Student Incentives: We provided incentives to encourage positive student behavior, academic achievement, and participation in schoolwide programs such as reading challenges and other educational initiatives. These expenses directly support student motivation and engagement. Faculty and Staff Appreciation: The PTO prioritized showing appreciation for all faculty and staff through events, meals, and recognition efforts throughout the year. These initiatives are designed to foster a positive work environment and acknowledge the contributions of those who support our students daily. School Investments: Funds were used to purchase materials, equipment, and resources that directly benefit the school and enhance the learning environment. This includes contributions toward classroom needs, campus improvements, and other items not covered by the schools operating budget. Special School Programs: We supported and funded various programs and events that enrich the student experience, including educational activities, campus events, and extracurricular opportunities that align with our mission. All expenditures were made with the goal of supporting student success, encouraging staff excellence, and strengthening the school community.”
