PTA needs and would appreciate you and your help. Become a member and get involved however you can. Reading your child’s agenda daily, reading with and to your child daily, reading the weekly newsletters, and talking to your child about their day and events at school are ways you can be involved and show your child you care about their well-being, education and their school. Your involvement in your child’s education has a tremendous impact on their future success.
