About English Crossing PTA
English Crossing PTA's Mission:
Making every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
PTA is:
- A POWERFUL voice for all children,
- A RELEVANT resource for families and communities,
- A STRONG advocate for the education and well-being of every child.
PTA's Purpose:
Our sole purpose is to strengthen, enhance and encourage the educational and social environment of English Crossing Elementary students by:
- Working Together to provide a positive learning environment for students.
- Raising funds to provide items for our school to enhance the students learning experiences.
- Supporting family and student social interaction by planning family friendly events.
- Give opportunities for us to come together as a community and help support others in need.
Why Join?
Local PTAs are self-funding. By inviting the entire school’s parent community to join, they generate membership fees to pay for programs. Local PTA fundraisers support school programs, building improvements, and educational events.
