The PTA Board is dedicated to supporting the school and parents for the development of all our children. We are looking for parents to become involved in helping us organize and run various programs and events to enhance the children's school experience. Below, you will find information on the 2011 - 2012 PTA Board and PTA Committees. Everyone has a special talent or skill to share. You do NOT have to make a large time commitment to be involved with the PTA. Please check out the information below on ways you can be involved. Keep checking back as we continue to update this page with information and requests for upcoming projects. Keep scrolling for additional information from the Virginia PTA and National PTA websites, including PTA membership specials and discounts.
