Do you have an idea that will encourage our kids to learn about something new or lead more healthy, active lifestyles? 

If parents, teachers, or community members from the Cuyuna area are in need to funding to support youth activities, the PTO may be able to help! We support parent and teacher-led initiatives that encourage healthy living or enhance the education they receive through the C-I School District. 

Examples of what we support:
- field trips,
- classroom and/or special project supplies,
- fees for guest speakers/experts,
- athletic equipment (for teams, groups, clubs; not individuals)
