The mission of the Berwick PTO is to aid and enhance the  students, parents and faculty of Vivian E. Hussey School, Eric L. Knowlton School and Noble Middle School in their educational and  recreational requirements. We will dedicate our efforts to facilitate open  communication between parents, teachers and the administration. We commit  ourselves to continuous fundraising efforts in order to promote family activities within the school and encompassing community.
