What does the PTA support?
The Alston Ridge PTA supports student, teacher, and family activities. As a public school, Alston Ridge Elementary receives funding for many aspects of the school, but it doesn’t cover everything. The PTA is a separate parent-run group that raises money to help fund many important activities. We work closely with Mrs. Caswell and teachers to identify financial priorities. These have included:
- New Technology replacing old Promethean boards classrooms
- Teacher stipends to defer the cost of classroom supplies
- Teacher training for 12 teachers last year for Project Based Learning
- Supplies including toner for printers, science specials, and more
- Cultural arts shows for students on early release days
- Wellness initiatives including gardens, before school yoga, and more
- Science Expo
- Field Day
- Teacher Treats on early release days
- Yearbook is created and distributed by the PTA
- 5th Grade Picnic and Celebration
- and more….
Volunteer when you can
Help comes in many forms – time at the school, helping with mulch on a weekend, or donating for quarterly teacher treats. No effort is too small. Indicate your area of interest on the registration form to stay in the loop of upcoming events and opportunities.
