Description
Each year the PTA organizes a Mardi Gras and Silent Auction in order to raise funds for instructional equipment and classroom tools to enhance the learning environment for our students. The PTA's past purchases include Smart Carts, a portable technology-integrated presentation system; Digi-Blocks, a curriculum-enhancing math manipulative; a string bass for the instrumental music program; and binoculars for our wildlife studies programs. In addition, the PTA subsidizes field trip and funds in-school cultural arts programs.
