The Roxboro Community School PTSO is holding a Virtual Membership Drive from March 22 through March 26. Join now to get involved with PTSO and raise funds to support student scholarships, teacher classroom and student needs.
In the past, the PTSO has contributed to the Raise the Roof Campaign that resulted in the final phase of renovation on our building, and gave students a gym and multipurpose room. Each year, PTSO offers 2 $1,000 college scholarships to RCS students. PTSO has also helped teachers supply their classrooms, purchase class sets of books, and take students on field trips.
Join the RCS PTSO by visiting www.roxborocs.org/page/ptso and downloading an application. Dues may be paid via Venmo, cash or check. The application and dues may be mailed to RCS PTSO, 115 Lake Drive, Roxboro, NC 27573 or dropped off at the front desk.
