PTA is a child advocacy organization with a presence locally and nationally that is used to help create a positive nurturing atmosphere in the schools here children can learn. The goal of the local PTA is to enhance our children's education by providing innovative, fun and interesting programs that augment classroom learning, volunteering in the classroom to help teachers with projects and events, and conduct events on campus that provide good clean fun for all the children.

On the state and national level, the PTA not only helps train our local leaders/members and provide valuable information but also creates a presence on the political scene working to educate and influence our legislators regarding issues that affect all of our children.

Be a part of our school - your community, and join PTA!
