Favorite thing about Stone Bank School:
Our three children have all attended Stone Bank School starting with 5K. We have always had positive interactions with teachers and faculty. The teachers all go out of their way to create a positive learning experience. We love the smaller class sizes at Stone Bank as it allows more time for the teachers to interact with students.
Ask me about the following areas within the scope of PTO:
Please ask me how you can get involved with the PTO. The organization helps to promote communication between parents, teachers, and administration. The PTO also sponsors and organizes fundraising and school events. I have seen firsthand how these funds directly benefit the classrooms and students. There are many ways that you can help us continue the strong tradition that we have at Stone Bank

Amazon Smile Program- Help SBS while you Holiday Shop!
AmazonSmile is an easy way for us to support Stone Bank School every time we shop at Amazon (at no additional cost to us!). Earning .5% of every eligible purchase you make is as easy as:
- Visit smile.amazon.com and select “Stone Bank School PTO” as your charity
- Copy the web address of your own personal AmazonSmile page, and use it to replace your current bookmark on the computer you shop from, or save it to your preferred screen on any smartphone to use it instead of the regular amazon app.
- Use your new bookmark to access Amazon when shopping for anything you normally buy! (you can also save items to your cart via the Amazon app if this is easier, but REMEMBER TO CHECKOUT FROM YOUR AMAZON SMILE PAGE!)
.5% may not seem like a lot, but it adds up quickly!
