PTA Executive Board Vision and Goals
The PTA funds 100% of our school's Garden & Science, Music, and Art ALIVE! programs as well as our Kindness program.
We fund the salaries for our program coordinators as well as the supplies needed to keep these programs running.
The PTA plays a vital role in building community spirit by sponsoring events that bring families, teachers, and our larger community together. Through activities such as our annual Harvest Fest or Winter Faire, or our Family Dance Night, the PTA creates opportunities for people to connect outside the classroom and form meaningful friendships. With these events, we hope to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and connected, foster a sense of belonging, and help everyone feel invested in our students and school’s success!
Through fundraisers, the PTA helps provide resources and opportunities that might not be covered by the school’s regular budget, helping to strengthen the partnership between parents, teachers, and students. We fundraise to support our ALIVE! programs, fund supplies for classroom or playground enrichment, support field trips, bring multicultural experiences to the school, and so much more! The PTA also provides a yearly-stipend for our volunteer-run TJE Library. These events, such as our annual Jog-a-thon and Read-a-thon, are so much fun for the students while also bringing families and the community together to raise money for vital learning experiences!
"I like the great experiences that the students have with the ALIVE programs. Art, garden, and kindness aren't taught at all schools. We are lucky to have them at Theodore Judah!"
