What Does the PTA Do?

The PTA organizes many school events to lift the burden off of teachers and school personel such as the Vision Screening in the Fall, providing food for the teachers during the Parent/Teacher Conferences, Popcorn on the 1st Friday of each month in the school cafeteria, etc. The PTA also helps fund many events throughout the school year that our children look forward to year after year.
