Purpose of the CGA PTO

  • Advance and support the educational experience at CGA

  • Develop a closer connection between CGA and home by encouraging caregiver involvement

  • Enhance the environment at CGA through volunteer and financial support

Most importantly — to support students and staff to ensure student success!

JOIN THE PTO

Did you know that CGA is funded as a program, not a traditional school? That means the PTO isn’t just a nice extra — it’s an essential part of how our scholars and staff get the support and resources they need to thrive.

From organizing beloved community events like Novemberfest, field day, and the middle school dance, to running fundraisers like skating parties and the Read-a-Thon, to weighing in on meaningful milestones like 8th grade promotion gifts — the PTO is at the center of what makes the CGA experience something truly worth cherishing.

Currently, we don’t have membership dues or other requirements. But we’d love to see you at an upcoming meeting - and we have plenty of ways to get involved throughout the schoolyear.
