The Sakai PTO supports educational programs, assemblies, field trips, and more for all students at Sakai Intermediate School. The PTO provides activities, supplies, and volunteers to enrich the student experience and to build community.
On this page, you can find some of the ways that the PTO, Teachers, and Staff support the school community at Sakai. Come back throughout the year to see what else is happening at the school. Some activities on this page are funded, solely, by the PTO. Most of these activities would not be possible without the generous support of time from the Sakai Staff, PTO, and Parent Volunteers. We are grateful for their time.
The information on this page is also presented to your students at Sakai during the Morning Broadcast as well as in the Sakai Coho Connection Newsletter, at various times throughout the year.
