​Supporting Our School Community: The Vision of Our New PTA

 

As a newly established Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), we're excited to build a vibrant and supportive community for our students, teachers, and families. Currently, we're seeking to raise the necessary funds to bring our ambitious goals to life.

 

Empowering Our Dedicated Teachers

 

Our teachers are the heart of our school, consistently going above and beyond for our children. Many generously use their own funds to provide essential resources and enrich the learning environment. We believe they deserve our full support. With your help, we aim to:

• Provide teacher appreciation meals during demanding periods like testing weeks.

• Fund "outside-the-box" learning experiences that are hands-on and engaging, moving beyond traditional textbooks.

• Supply essential resources for various departments, including:

  • Science: Supporting labs, robotics, and other STEM initiatives.

  • Arts: Supplying microphones for theater and chorus, instrument supplies and sheet music for band, and general art class materials.

• Offer "mini-grants" to five deserving teachers annually, allowing them to fulfill a classroom "bucket list" item as a reward for their hard work.

 

Enriching the Student Experience

 

Our students are at the core of everything we do. We're committed to creating an inclusive and exciting learning environment where all students can thrive. Our initiatives include:

• Financial assistance for families in need: Providing funds for field trips and school uniforms through a dedicated uniform closet and a food pantry.

• Creating engaging activities: Funding projects like a school garden and an environmental club to put science and sustainability into action.

• Regular student recognition: Celebrating the hard work and achievements of all our students.

• By the 2026-2027 school year, we aspire to have the resources to fully implement these vital programs.

 

Fostering a Stronger "GREEN" Family Community

 

We believe that a strong school community is built on connection and collaboration. We plan to host regular events that bring families together, such as:

• Social gatherings: Potluck nights, game nights, trivia nights, dances, and festivals.

• Accessible PTA meetings: Coordinating meetings with student pick-up times or offering evening meetings with provided dinner (like pizza) to ensure parents don't have to choose between family dinner and PTA involvement.

With your sponsorship and support, we can transform these aspirations into reality, making a tangible difference in the lives of our students and teachers. We invite you to join us in building a vibrant and thriving school community.
