2007-08 PTA Board and Committee Chairs

Our PTA does many wonderful things around the school, from support of learning activities to fundraising to fun events. The PTA board meets monthly to oversee the general operations of all the activities of the PTA. Additionally, the board is in charge of putting together the annual budget and has the responsibility to allocating or re-allocating additional funds as the school year progresses.

Most importantly the PTA board is the integration point between parents, teachers, and school administration on important school issues that arise each year.

Help us keep the PTA strong by bringing in your ideas, spirit, leadership, and hard work.
