Our mission is to enhance and enrich the educational experience of our students. We accomplish this through the generous help and support of our parents, teachers, staff, and our community. All PFA activities and money raised directly benefit the students, teachers and staff. We enhance technology, physical education, science, the music program, library, and playground, and we fully fund and operate a parent volunteer art program.
The PFA bridges the financial gap between what the school needs, and what it receives in funding from the state and grants. Our budget for the year includes $217K in expenses. Here are some of the most important items that you can help support:
- Interventionists and Aides - $79,000 (Math, English Language Arts, Bilingual, Kinder)
- Art Coordinator and art supplies - $13,200
- Library Supplies in both English and Spanish - $5,000
- Classroom supplies - $10,000
- PE & Intervention Teacher - $13,000
- Social Emotional Learning Curriculum & Counseling Support - $1,500
- Ink/Toner - $3,000
- Educational Enhancements (PE, Science, Music, Garden, Classroom supplies) - $8,000
The goal of the Art to Grow program is to provide a positive learning experience for students of all skill levels to participate in the world of art. Fostering a student’s knowledge of artists and their works, principle elements of art, conceptual development and hands-on skills cultivate patience, personal confidence, social awareness and communication. Developing such skills contribute to enhanced attention, dedication and improved performance. Our program’s success is made possible by the sixty-plus volunteers whose encouragement and support through communication, team teaching, shadowing and cross-grade training.
