Our mission is to enrich the experiences of our students, parents and teachers. We will support and speak on behalf of our children. We will contribute to needed resources and programs to the school, teachers and students. We encourage parent involvement.

Projects That We Funded

The greatest pleasure of contributing to PTA is being able to help fund programs and purchase necessary equipment. We all know the state of the school budget is getting tighter with each year. Without the support of PTA, our students would go without many essentials and would certainly be lacking in the area of the enriching parts of education.

Throughout the year, PTA conducts many fundraisers including the "Have A Heart" - Valentine Dinner & Auction. The event was a huge success in 2005 and 2006, and it was wonderful to see our school community pull together for the betterment of our school. On average, the event raises over $40,000 annually for our school.

It is with great pride that PTA summarizes the fruits of its labor for the 2007/2008 school year.
