Every paddle raised and ticket purchased helps sustain the programs that make our school community strong, supported, and connected.

Here’s what your support helps make possible:

  • Outdoor learning & field trips
    From local field experiences to overnight trips for 5th and 8th graders, PTSA funding helps ensure students can learn beyond the classroom.
  • Student tutoring support
    Seven PTSA-funded tutors provide more than 100 hours of support each week, helping students in grades 1–8 build confidence and succeed academically.
  • Classroom & program grants
    Every full-time teacher receives a $400 PTSA Classroom Grant to enhance learning. These funds also support vital programs like Engineering, Art, Music, PE, and library learning.
  • Racial Equity Committee
    This work supports BIPOC students while helping foster a school culture where every student feels seen, valued, and supported.
  • Family Support Program
    PTSA helps meet basic needs like learning scholarships, coats, and shoes. During the Fall 2025 Coat Drive, families requested 81 coats — four times more than the previous year.
  • Community-building events
    From the Fall Harvest Festival and movie nights to Multicultural Night and Glow Dance, PTSA funding helps create the events that bring our community together.
