WELCOME TO THE GREENACRES SCHOOL PTA WEBSITE!
Welcome to the Greenacres PTA Website. The PTA sponsors a vast array of 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 that are not in the district budget.
As the summer unfolds, please look out for emails on our Gardening Workshops and Kindergarten playdates. In August, we will share important Back to School information on how to join the PTA, register your child for After School Clubs, buy our amazing line of Spirit Wear and more!
In the meantime, we hope you have a wonderful rest of summer and look forward to the upcoming school year! And please consider volunteering for the 2024-2025 school year committees by filling out our volunteer form.
Sincerely,
The 2024-2025 Greenacres PTA Executive Committee

Volunteers Needed
Our parent volunteers are the driving force of our PTA, helping us provide the Greenacres community with a multitude of activities and experiences. Some programs we run include after school clubs, fun family events, community service projects and other enrichment programming. Without your help, none of this would be possible.
Please consider volunteering for the 2024- 2025 school year by filling out our volunteer form HERE.
You can find a description of all of the PTA committees on our website. If you have any questions about the responsibilities of a particular committee or the time commitment, please feel free to reach out to Tulika Khemani. Thank you and I look forward to working together in the year ahead!
