This is something we don't say often enough. Our PTA coordinates nearly 40 activities and events throughout the year (not including our fun monthly meetings;). These activities all contribute to our goal of bringing the school community together and providing support to our students, staff, and families. Did you know that these activities are only made possible by parents who volunteer to take the lead?? Here are our current Activity Chair Heroes:
