CPU PTO

Intermediate School

PTO at CPU is a parent/teacher-run, parent/teacher-supported, organization geared towards helping the Center Point-Urbana teachers excel when teaching our children by supporting their needs. We are funded by parent and community donations and one primary fundraiser.

One Fundraiser Each Year

CPU-PTO has gone to one fundraiser each year.  It occurs in the fall of the school year.  This one fundraiser, typically a Walkathon, supports many school related as well as family and child centered activities throughout the school year.
