Frequently Asked Questions

Interested in partnering with us for an upcoming event? Please contact us at stewartptoinfo@gmail.com.

Becoming a sponsor is a meaningful way to support the students, teachers, and families of Manatee County’s #1 rated elementary school! All proceeds from our events and activities go directly toward funding essential programs, classroom technology, teacher development, and family-focused initiatives, making a tangible impact on education in our community. In return, your business will be highlighted in front of hundreds of families and supporters, showcasing your commitment to local causes and increasing your brand visibility. Whether through monetary sponsorships or donations of goods and services, your support will be recognized and appreciated, creating lasting goodwill and community connections. 

Our PTO is 100% volunteer led. We have an amazing network of individuals who help bring our mission to life with their unique skill sets. 

If you're interested in volunteering for an upcoming event or want to learn more about getting involved, please reach out to PTO Board Member Coral Bass at coralbass@gmail.com.

You can also help support the PTO without volunteering your time. Visit our Support page to learn more about the new Official Stewart Merch Store and more!

First and foremost, 100% of your membership donation directly supports our school...and that includes your child, too! You can learn more about how PTO funds support our school on our About page. Membership also gives you a voice to vote on important topics that help drive the direction of our PTO. Memberships are valid September 1 - August 31 each school year. JOIN TODAY!

Definitely not! Although we love engaged volunteers, we understand that everyone's time constraints are different. If you aren't able to volunteer your time, we hope to connect with you at one of our fun events or an upcoming meeting, but the extent of your involvement is up to you.

There are multiple ways to stay in the loop about upcoming events.

1. View the most up-to-date event schedule on our events page of StewartPTO.com.
2. Become a member! We send our members email updates and exclusive offers right to their inbox.
3. For Facebook users, join our Ida M. Stewart Elementary PTO group. We create event pages for most of our main events and invite all of our members.

Not all school events are PTO sponsored events (i.e., the Stewart Olympics). The Stewart staff will be the contact for any questions for non-PTO sponsored events.
