Smith PTO
Mission
Oakwood Parent Teacher Organizations exist to build communities of parents and teachers who work together to support the school district’s vision, mission and core values. Each organization operates independently to foster communication and fund programs to enhance the educational, cultural and social environment for all students and families.
Smith Playground Project
In early 2020 the E.D. Smith PTO was presented with an opportunity to contribute to a new playground. PTO members voted to donate $10,000 to the playground project. Additionally, the PTO began a fundraising campaign with the assistance of the Oakwood Schools Foundation. The PTO would like to thank the parents, students, alumni and community members for their generous donations. The playground was installed in April 2020 and will be enjoyed by numerous students for years to come.
DONATE TO THE SMITH PLAYGROUND PROJECT
Donations are still being accepted for additional equipment and future improvements. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Donations may be made by check or online. All donations to The Oakwood Schools Foundation will be processed by The Dayton Foundation.
Meetings
Meetings are typically held in the Smith library on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.
