First Steps PTO's mission
Our mission is to create awareness of the First Steps program through fun events in our community and to support scholarships for participating families. The First Steps Early Childhood Division is Rec & Ed's premier community program for families with children from birth to kindergarten entry. All proceeds from Kid Fest go directly to support family scholarships. Last year the First Steps PTO helped more than 230 children have access to this important program. You can help create even more opportunities for families by purchasing tickets and attending KidFest!
Can't attend but still want to support some scholarships? You are always welcome to make a donation.
