About the Provider

Description: The Finch PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) has played an important role over the years for Finch students, teachers, and parents. It is described as having been a positive influence on the entire school and surrounding community, an excellent organization, and responsible for fostering many good friendships among parents and teachers.


Edith Rasmusson, a parent, recalls, "All working together to raise money to buy stage curtains and other extras to complete the 1946 building." This organization also sponsored a "Mothersingers" group in the 1940s and 1950s, which numbered between 40 and 50 members. All were mothers of Finch students and enjoyed performing around Spokane, including the Spokane Music Festival.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the PTO almost died from lack of support from a charging society. However, in recent years, there has been a new effort to revitalize the or organization. Once again, parents unite in a variety of projects to support the students of Finch. Students are especially fond of wearing PTO-designed sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats, and sweatpants in the school color of red with the school mascot, the mustang, outlined in white.

The time that our Finch families contribute to our school is invaluable! If you are interested in volunteering at an event for in the classroom please see our Volunteer Opportunties page for more information.
