PTA Sponsored School Events

The PTA at Park Western Place Elementary is an amazing organization with parents volunteering their time and donations to help our students have some great experiences during the year. Below are some of the fun events we have planned for the year. If you can please consider donating to one of these amazing programs, and be sure to support our annual fundraisers!
​

Art to Grow On --
Art to Grow On is a non-profit, art enrichment organization that serves the creative development needs of school children in the greater Harbor area, including Park Western Place. Operated by parents and community volunteers, “docents” brings artistic experiences to every classroom at Park Western Place.

​We need volunteers to keep this fun program going at our school. Please consider donating some time to help with our classes. It is a really fun way to be part of the leaning experience - no creativity required! 
Reflections --
PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student arts program to encourage artistic creativity in the classroom and at home. Students of all grades and abilities may participate and explore the arts in music, visual, multimedia and written forms based on an annual theme. 
Red Ribbon Week--
Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. It's usually combined with an anti-bullying message. 
Founder's Day Celebration--
Founders Day is a reminder of the substantial role that PTA has played  in supporting parent involvement and working on behalf of all children and families. It is a time to reflect and take pride in our many accomplishments, and to renew our commitment to be a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for parents, and a strong advocate for public education
Read Across America--
Every year schools across America celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday with a week of events centered around books and other great literature. Our students have a chance to focus on reading along with other fun events during the week. 
Spell-a-thon --

Read-a-Thon --

Trunk or Treat & Bunny Festival --
The PTA celebrates in the fall and spring with an after school carnival, games, food and fun for our students. Dress up for our annual Trunk or Treat in October and try your luck at the games... and then come find colorful eggs and play carnival games in the spring. Ticket and food sales go to support our school programs. 
Field Trips and Assemblies --
Our PTA supports all of our grades with donations toward field trips for the students and assists with funding various assemblies and activities during the yearn including the 5th grade trip to CIMI and culmination. 
Teacher Appreciation--

The PTA provides lunch events, dinners during Open House nights, snacks, end of year thank you gifts, books, classroom supplies, and also helps organize volunteers for school Math and Science nights among many other supportive roles. We love our Park Western Place teachers!
