PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION

The Parent-Teacher Association is a group of parents and teachers who coordinate efforts to enrich our children’s school experience. The PTA provides a support system for the school, the teachers and the students.

The PTA sponsors many school events and programs including welcoming new parents on the first day of school, organizing a carnival and various fundraisers to provide funds for assemblies, computers, the library, playground equipment, instructional supplies and other schoolwide needs.

Parents participate in the PTA as members, officers, committee members and room parents. Each fall the PTA holds a membership drive and encourages parents and teachers to join and participate in planning the PTA budget activities for the school year.

We hope that you will choose to become a member of the LeGette PTA and support the various special events held throughout the school year.
