AMES Parent Teacher Student Organization’s (PTSO) is the parent volunteer
arm of the AMES Foundation. Its mission is to lend support to students, their families and AMES
teachers during the school year. The PTSO is a stronger organization when we reflect all of the
cities, diverse backgrounds, and varied interests of the AMES students and families. We are a
group that values any contribution of time from our AMES family. Please consider joining us!
Our PTSO organizes and funds AMES student dances, dinners for teachers and staff
during Parent/Teacher Conferences, breakfasts for students before ACT and PSAT tests, Open
Mic night, teacher appreciation week, a graduation party, etc. This organization is only possible
with YOUR help. Being involved is a great way to support your student(s).
Volunteer meetings are monthly. A Zoom Link and an agenda will be sent a few days
before each meeting. Please DO attend our PTSO meetings, share your thoughts and ideas,
lend a hand if you can.
The PTSO is a volunteer organization. In order to fund the activities we organize, we
hope to raise about $25 per student enrolled at AMES. 100% of the funds we raise and the work
we do go directly to support the AMES students and teachers!
