Funding

The PTA spends hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on programs and events for every child in every grade. Many of the activities and programs would not be possible without the funding from the PTA. There is no obligation on the part of parents to donate to the PTA, however, the PTA can only exist with your support.

Involvement

Get involved. Volunteer your time. Come to meetings. Read the minutes. Fill out an SLT card giving your thoughts. Jump in and help. Ask questions. Donate when you're able. The PTA makes wonderful investments in our children and our community.
