Mission: The National PTA is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the United States. A non-profit association of parents, educators, students and other citizens, the PTA is concerned with education, health and well-being of all children. Some highlights of our PTA school events from last year included multi-cultural activities, Fall carnival, assemblies, dance classes, and Autism acceptance events. The PTA also helped fund classroom supplies, purchased a book vending machine, supported the school garden, and funded field trips. We worked together to create family events such as Earth Fest and MakerFaire Night, advocated to get daily crossing guards, and supported local community programs.
Results: As the school year starts, I am happy to share that the El Rincon PTA has been designated as a National PTA School of Excellence.
