What is the PTA?
The New Haven Elementary PTA is an organization designed to work as partners with the administrators, faculty, and staff to ensure that New Haven Elementary continues to be a great place for our children to grow and learn. Our mission is not only to raise money for the school, but to supplement and enrich the educational experience of all students attending New Haven. Our goal is to provide a framework for coordinating fundraising and volunteer efforts for the purpose of funding events, activities, and school enhancements that would not otherwise be provided within the school budget.
Who may belong to the PTA?
Parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and other adult members of the community are encouraged to join the PTA.
Why should I join the PTA? Becoming a member is a great way to become involved and to help your child's school. Your child wants you to be actively involved with their life. Getting involved in your child's education shows them that you value school and working with the PTA gives you another avenue to become an essential memeber of your child's educational team. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, so your membership is even tax deductible.
How can I help?
The PTA needs your help in many ways. The first way you can help is by joining the PTA each year. Another way to help is to volunteer within the organization; our various programs and projects require hours of manpower and a wide variety of skills.
