FUNDRAISING
The goal of our PTA is to create an active partnership of parents, educators and the local community in order to support the needs of our school and foster the success of our students.
With funding for public education at a lower level than needed, it is crucial to find ways to help provide the technology, instructional materials, field trips and a sense of community for our school that our students need to thrive.
HOW WE RAISE MONEY
