Curious about where PTA funds go? Last year, the PTA raised roughly $42,000 and spent $14k towards students/classroom, $11k on community events, and $4k on staff support and appreciation.

We ended the year with a $10k surplus, and have plans to use it this year to help replace some outdoor equipment around the school!

We'll briefly discuss and vote on the PTA's 2026-2027 school year budget at the start of our Thursday PTA meeting. Please consider becoming a member to help us vote!
