About the Washington Elementary PTA
The mission of the Washington Elementary School PTA is closely aligned with the California State PTA, which is to empower and support our members with skills in advocacy, leadership, and communication to positively impact the lives of all children.
The PTA at Washington is a very active group of parents and teachers. We put on a variety of community events as well as help raise funds for areas of need around the school. Most recently the PTA saw a need for a music instructor, so through diligent efforts, the community came together to raise enough money to hire one. Subsequently, the need for a structured recess coach came about. Again the community pulled together to fund a recess coach. We are not just about fundraising, though. We also hold several events for the community such as free movie nights, a Welcome Picnic in the fall and we plan to hold a blood drive this winter. We strongly encourage you to join our organization. Membership in the PTA entitles you to vote on important matters that directly impact the lives of children at our school. CLICK HERE to join.
