PTO/PTA & CLFOGE
All District 47 schools have their own PTO/PTA. The PTO/PTA is a volunteer-based non-profit organization committed to supporting the school community. The PTO/PTA organizes events throughout the year, like classroom parties, speakers and assemblies, book fairs, celebrations, and fundraisers, to bring together families, faculty, and staff in a fun and engaging way.
The Crystal Lake Friends of Gifted Education (CLFOGE) is a not-for-profit, volunteer-staffed group of parents and educators who are dedicated to supporting gifted education in District 47. CLFOGE has been supporting the families and educators in District 47’s Extended Curriculum program since 2001 through advocacy, programming and fundraising.

My favorite memory would have to be the Winter Wonderland Drive Thru during Covid. We decorated the entire drive and had music, a photo booth, and winter break activity kits. It was a lot of fun to see our community come together during that tough time.-Allison Gleason, PTA PResident, COventry Elementary
I’ve made some really great friendships and have met a lot of great women. I know it can seem intimidating to join a PTO, but it’s really simple. It’s flexible; it’s where your strengths are and what you want to do. It brings such a closeness with the school for me.-Caitlain Frank, WPO Member, West Elementary
