Support
PTA is a great organization that seeks to make our Lions Pride Community stronger by providing connections and support to our students, teachers and families. Our PTA raises funds that go directly to the teachers, staff and students. The majority our operating budget goes directly to support numerous programs some of which are listed above.
All this is not possible without your support and is why we encourage all families to become PTA members (volunteering is NOT required), participate in the fundraisers, participate in the programs we organize, and volunteer if you feel inclined to do so.
Join
