What is a Social?

Who doesn't love a party?! "Socials" are community gatherings outside of school - generously hosted by Eanes parents - that help support our PTO and grow our community. Socials can be hosted by groups or by individuals who plan and fund fun and rewarding parties. A fee is attached to each experience and the revenue is used by EEPTO to support our teachers and students through the PTO.

 

Socials can be school wide, grade wide, or for a limited number of students. Socials can be for just students, for students and parents, or for parents only. We always strive to have as many Socials as possible for our students and parents, and we are so grateful to our hosts!

 

We love our Socials hosts!
