Your Generosity makes a Huge Impact.

The BMES PTO mission is to strengthen the Barranca Mesa Elementary community by supporting educators, engaging families, organizing events, and providing resources that enrich the educational experience and overall school environment.

To do this work, the PTO prioritizes being able to offer each teacher an annual stipend to enhance their classroom!

  • All teachers are allocated $250 with the exception of new teachers receiving $300.

  • In addition to this, each grade level receives a $375 stipend to use on field trips.

Further, the PTO takes steps to raise fund to enrich educational experiences and overall school environment. In recent years, this included:

  • a new school marquee

  • bulletin boards strips outside each teacher’s classroom

The next big campus improvement project is to purchase a shade structure outside of the cafeteria. Students will be able to enjoy sitting outside for lunch while being protected from the high altitude sun.

A quick overview of the things BMES PTO funds:

  • Special assemblies and enrichment programs throughout the school year

  • The Barranca Cares Program which supplies food and clothing to students in need

  • Teacher-conference luncheons for all teachers & support staff and Staff Appreciation

  • Staff back to school shirts and 6th grade graduation shirts

  • $1,000 Principal stipend

  • LAPS graduating senior scholarships

  • Character trait monthly awards
