Events and Activities

 Our main purpose as a PTA is to be an advocate for the children.  In an effort to make school a rewarding and nurturing part of our kids’ lives, we sponsor many programs that bring families in to school, offer enriching activities for the children, and support our teachers.  Please see our PTA Events Calendar for dates and times.  

​Please note that many of these activities may not be available during the 2020-21 schoolyear, due to COVID-19.  We look forward to re-implementing our full scope of PTA activities as soon as we can!
