You’ve been hearing about all the wonderful programs PTA helps pay for—music, computer, and PE specialists, assemblies, the “Meet the Masters” art program, library books, classroom supplies, and Reading Counts. PTA also helps ensure there is a yearbook and fun family events like movie night, the book fair, and bingo night.

PTA REFLECTIONS PROGRAM
