2026-2027 PTO Dues

Money from PTO helps to fund field trips, organize assemblies, support those in need, provide meals and gifts for our teachers, and much more!

To make it easy we offer several ways to pay for dues: 

  1. VENMO: @StarkweatherPTO
  2. SWSMembershipSite  to pay online.  

Thanks to PTO dues and our fundraisers, we’re able to provide meaningful resources and experiences for our school.

My PTO dues do all that?
So far PTO dues have covered:
  • Staff welcome back breakfast (August 24)
  • Teacher BTS gift cards 
  • Two Assemblies: Service dog education (9/18) and Walnut Street Theater (9/29)
  • Ice Cream Social supplies (toppings, water etc.)
  • Sunshine Cart (9/25)
  • Grade-level socials (free pizza and water at event)
  • Fields Trips (1st grade)

Your dues directly make it possible for us to do wonderful things for our families and staff. 100% of money raised goes right back into the school and that's a wonderful thing.
