About Us

Get to Know the PFO

Arts & Enrichment

The PFO supports Kaiser and Woodland's arts and enrichment programs by funding and coordinating opportunities normally outside the scope of the school's budget and resources.

Field Trips & Assemblies

Valuable lessons and experiences happen outside of the classroom too which is why the PFO provides funds for field trips and assemblies for all of our students to enjoy.

Growth & Support

The ways our students learn and grow are ever-changing and our organization is designed to work alongside principals and help meet the evolving needs from equipment to facilities and programs.

What We Do

The Kaiser Woodland PFO (Parent Faculty Organization) supports both Woodland and Kaiser Elementary Schools in Costa Mesa by furthering the reach of arts, technology, enrichment and experiences beyond the scope of the schools' established budgets. Our non-profit organization creates multiple fundraising opportunities throughout the school year and provides volunteer planning and support to help make our schools the best possible places for students to learn and grow.

The PFO's programs are made possible by parent involvement. Through fundraising, donating, volunteering, or attending, your enthusiasm and support makes deeper enrichment at Kaiser and Woodland a reality. Get familiar with the many ways to get involved.
