PTA
First off, what is PTA?
The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is the nation’s largest volunteer child advocacy association, connecting families and schools across the country for more than 115 years, PTA's mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
What does the PTA do at Barron Park?
The PTA is an essential partner in serving all of our students and parents. We provide financial support in the form of classroom supplies, scholarships, teacher grants, and programs. We also sponsor and organize community events. This financial and organizational support is vital to the mission and vibrant culture of Barron Park Elementary School.
How does it work?
In one word - volunteering. Parents and members of the wider school community volunteer their time and energy to help make the school the best possible experience it can be for our children. Volunteering for the Barron Park PTA is both impactful to the community and incredibly rewarding for those taking part. Through volunteering you gain a deeper connection to the school, your children and their classmates.
