Upcoming Events
Thursday June 4: Field Day, 9:15 AM - 12:20 PM & 12:30 - 3:45 PM
Wednesday June 10: Last PTA General Body Meeting (virtual), 7:00 PM
Our PTA’s future depends on parent involvement and right now, we urgently need volunteers.
All PTA Board positions will be open for the coming year, and we must fill the President and Treasurer and Secretary roles in order for the PTA to continue. Without these roles, many of the activities our students and staff love Bingo Night, Staff Appreciation, 6th Grade Day, the Read‑A‑Thon, enrichment programs and more cannot happen.
Click the link below to view more about the open board positions.
PTA Board Position Presentation
Not able to take on a full board position? That’s okay. Even committing to one major event makes a huge difference, and we would be grateful for your help.
This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact, meet other families, and help shape the school experience for our students. Don’t wait; nominations are needed now!
We can’t do this without you.
Thank you for supporting the Children's Business Fair
Thank you for supporting the Children’s Business Fair! More than 30 businesses took part, it was incredible to see our young entrepreneurs in action. We are so proud of them!
