GREENACRES SCHOOL PTA 

 

Welcome to the Greenacres PTA Website. The PTA sponsors many events and programs to support students, parents, and faculty throughout the year. Fundraising initiatives provide the means for the PTA to supplement the Greenacres community with technology, enrichment, and materials not in the district budget. 

  

Sincerely,

 

The 2025-2026 Greenacres PTA Executive Committee

🎈CELEBRATION BOOKS 🎈

Introducing a New PTA Library Celebration Initiative — Launching 2026!  

 

 

Beginning in 2026, the PTA is proud to partner with the Greenacres Library and Bronx River Books to launch our Celebration Books Program. Families can honor a child’s birthday or special occasion by donating a book to our school library.

 

Each donated book includes a permanent, personalized bookplate recognizing the student and becomes part of the library collection for all to enjoy. For a $20 donation, families select a book from the library’s wish list, and the PTA will purchase it through our local bookstore and arrange delivery to the library. Each month’s celebration books will be displayed, and students have the first opportunity to check out their own book.

 

Celebration books may be purchased for any month in advance. March books must be ordered by February 14.

 

Donate your celebration book now — DONATE HERE

  

(limit one per student, per school year)

 

More FAQs are available HERE. Additional questions may be directed to PTA Library Chairs Christina Feist and Linda Zhou.
