Every Dollar Makes a Difference
Even if every family joins the PTA, we still fall short of our annual budget. Weβre asking each family to make a one-time donation of $100 per student, though no amount is too small! Also, donβt forget to check with your HR department to see if your company has a matching gift program and make an even greater impact!

Our amazing PTA is dedicated to making our school a fantastic place for our students, teachers, and families. Hereβs just a glimpse of what we make happen!
π Book Fairs: We organize the entire event β ordering books, setting up booths, and helping our kiddos learn about managing money while they shop for their favorite reads.
π Class Trips: While teachers choose the destinations, the PTA covers the cost of the trip and transportation. From off-campus adventures like the zoo, whale watching, and the Heritage House, on-campus experiences like Walk Through California and Walk Through the Revolution, the Gold Rush and special assemblies, we ensure memorable learning experiences for all.
π Yearbook: The PTA handles it all β designing, creating, and distributing this cherished keepsake.
π¨ 5th Grade Tiles: Those fabulous tiles displayed around our school? The PTA helps 5th graders design them, handles the firing and glazing, and pays to have them installed as lasting memories.
π Onsite Events: From Welcome Back celebrations to Trunk or Treat, Jog-a-thon, and our beloved Carnival, the PTA funds, organizes, and staffs the incredible events that bring our school community together.
π Teacher & Staff Support: We provide funds to help teachers purchase classroom supplies, PBIS prizes, nursing supplies, and other essentials that arenβt covered by district budgets.
π« School Safety & Beautification: Weβve upgraded the library, designed and painted the beautiful MPR murals, added security fencing, and repaired the handball courts β creating a safer and more inviting school environment.
π Binders & Folders: We provide the blue folders that go home each Thursday, plus reminder binders for 4th and 5th graders to build organization skills and prepare for middle school.
π School Spirit: Our PTA selects, orders, and distributes all of the fun spirit wear that unites our school community.
π¨βπ§βπ¦ Watch D.O.G.S.: We proudly run the Dads of Great Students program, promoting positive male role models and showing students that education matters.
