PTA (Parent Teacher Association)

In the United States a PTA, Parent Teacher Association, is a formal organization that consists of parents, teachers and staff that is intended to facilitate parental participation in a public or private school. Most public and private K-8 schools in the U.S. have a PTA, a Parent Teacher Organization or an equivalent local organization. At the local level, the goal of all parent-teacher groups is to support their schools, encourage parent involvement, support teachers, and organize family events.

These wonderful parents always go above and beyond with their time, talent, and treasure for Saint Mary School. When you see our PTA Officers, make sure you thank them for their service.
