PTCA Committees

Sustainability

The Sustainability Committee is a group of parents working with our students, principals, teachers and outside organizations committed to improving our living environment. We reflect on our daily practices in the school and community to better lessen our footprint on the earth. We are committed to creating progress toward a healthy environment in our school community by reducing many forms of waste; creating with what we have; and nurturing to rebuild that which has been depleted. Our committee aims to educate ourselves and our community to sustain resources for future generations.

Teacher Appreciation

This committee coordinates a beginning of the year luncheon, holiday gifts for teachers and end of the year teacher treats, flowers and cards.

Third Friday Coffee & Principal’s Coffee

A social tradition at the Elementary School campus, this Third Friday morning coffee klatch let’s families get to know each other and talk about all the goings on at our wonderful school. Principal Underwood hosts regular coffees each month to connect and communicate with families.

Yard Sale

The Yard Sale is the PTCA’s biggest (and most clutter-busting) fundraising event of the year. If you’re an organizer or have any retail experience, this is the committee for you!
