About ARGONNE COUNCIL OF EMPOWERMENT

Argonne Council of Empowerment (dba Argonne PTO) is the parent-teacher organization supporting Argonne Elementary School in San Francisco. The organization raises funds and organizes volunteers to provide extracurricular programs, classroom support staff, enrichment activities, and school-wide events that serve the Argonne student body and families. The council operates as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (tax-exempt since 2000) and runs ongoing programs including the Argonne Chinese After-School Program (CASP), an Annual Giving Campaign, and recurring community events such as Spring Fair, Field Day and Pawpalooza. In recent years the PTO has continued active fundraising and programming (including events and parent-education series through 2024–2026) to support reading, writing, technology, smaller upper-grade classes, outdoor education and universal art supplies for students.
