EDUCATIONAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS AT NOYES

The goal of educational enrichment programs is to expand an already supportive, positive, and fun learning experience for our children through external supplemental programming. These programs are developed in collaboration with Noyes teachers, to ensure they align with classroom curricula. 

VOLUNTEERS 

Enrichment programs are made possible by the year-long volunteerism of PTO members who liaise with our Noyes teachers to identify, organize, and plan programs that best align with our children’s annual curriculum while making learning exciting. Please reach out to us at peternoyespto@gmail.com if you are interested in being a grade-year liaison or coordinating across grades as the Enrichment Coordinator.

FUNDING

In addition to helping develop, organize, and run these programs, the Noyes PTO also funds these programs. Educational enrichment is one of the largest expenditures for the Noyes PTO every year. Funds for these programs are raised through community events, including the Fun Run and Spring Auction.
