PTO FAQs

• How can I volunteer with the PTO?

We welcome all parents, guardians, and community members that have students attending Bradley! Volunteering can be as simple as helping at one event, donating needed items, or joining a committee. Sign up for volunteer opportunities on our website or reach out to services@bradleybearspto.org
