The Hallsville PTO strives to be active within our schools and looks forward to another successful year of events and being able to provide support to Hallsville Schools. The PTO holds two annual events per year, the fall fundraiser and Trivia Night in February. These annual events help support activities and scholarships and allow the PTO to purchase large and small-scale items for students, teachers, and buildings. In addition, the PTO hosts smaller family events throughout the year.
