IMPORTANT: We invite you to join us to discuss a fundraising plan for 2017/2018 at our February 13th Byron PTO meeting at 6:30 pm in the Byron Intermediate School Library. Based on the research and discussion over the last couple of months, we feel ready to review options and make a decision to move forward with alternatives.

Please also consider volunteering for the Byron PTO Events Committee and joining the meeting on February 13th at 6:30 p.m. This group will be a part of planning fundraising and other events with the Byron PTO Board.

On behalf of the Byron PTO Board, we want to inform you all, based on feedback received via a parent survey, the Byron PTO Board has chosen to discontinue the Fall Club's Choice Fundraiser for the 2017/2018 school year.  Pizza Pete has done a marvelous job servicing the Byron School District through Club's Choice which we have raised over $25,000 each year we participated.  Although this has generated significant funds, we learned through the survey responses the quality and timing of this type of fundraiser is unsatisfactory and in need of a change. 
 
For your review, please click on the following link for the survey results:
        
As we look ahead to fund the great ancillary programs, field trips, and equipment requests, we invite you to join us to discuss a fundraising plan for 2017/2018 at our February 13th Byron PTO meeting at 6:30 pm in the Byron Intermediate School Library.  Based on the research and discussion over the last couple of months, we feel ready to review options and make a decision to move forward with alternatives.

BMS Media Center

It is an absolute joy for us when we can pass on thanks like this.   It was because of you that we had successful book fairs. That equals new books for the schools.  :)  Enjoy the books Byron Middle School!  :)  




Please accept my thanks for supporting the Scholastic Book Fairs. Books were recently 
purchased for Byron Middle School.

It is fantastic to put popular books in the hands of these fervent young readers.

With much appreciation,

Thank you!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On behalf of the Byron PTO Board, THANK YOU for a great 2015-2016 school year! The tremendous support from parents and families through fundraising and volunteering truly makes a difference.  Because of YOUR efforts, classes were able to go on field trips, new instruments were purchased, a new piece of playground equipment and an innovative, pilot curriculum application were funded.

It is evident that our parent members are dedicated to making sure our students grow through learning and life experiences. 


Mark your calendar for the PTO Party on the Playground, Thursday, August
25, 6:30 - 8:00 pm.


We will kick off our fundraiser a little later to allow everyone to get settled into their new locations and routines. 

 
Have a great summer!

Sincerely,
Byron PTO Board

What an AMAZING Family Fun Night on Friday!
 The crowd was unbelievable! 
It was so awesome to see so many people attend! 
A HUGE thank you goes out to the Family Fun Night Committee for organizing everything. They did a FANTASTIC job!! We couldn't have done this event without the super volunteers that donated their time to work. You made this night a success! Thank you to Pizza Pete for all the fun he brought. We also couldn't have run this event without the custodial staff at Byron Elementary. They are the best! A million thanks to everyone involved tonight!  Special thanks to our business sponsors:
