WELCOME TO THE GREENACRES SCHOOL PTA WEBSITE!
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
