WELCOME GATORS
Dear Greenacres Families,
 I am honored to be this year’s PTA President at Greenacres and I want to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year. I look forward to helping to build a strong school community, where we all feel included and excited to be here.
The PTA is already working hard to plan a fun year for our kids and families and we are excited that PTA membership is NOW OPEN! Every Sunday, PTA members will receive our weekly newsletter, the Greenacres Gazette. In this newsletter, you will find all the information you need about the upcoming activities and events, including our amazing line-up of After School Clubs, enrichment activities, information from the District and community and more. Members can also check out our PTA website to find useful links and information.
Please also mark your calendars for our Welcome Back Coffee, immediately following drop off on Tuesday, September 2nd. It will be a great opportunity to connect with old friends, meet some new ones and kickoff a new school year.
In community,
Liza King
Greenacres PTA President, 2025-2026
CLASS GIFTS
 Each year, the PTA collects money to thank our amazing teachers, specials teachers, administrators, faculty, aides and custodial staff who are the heart and soul of the Greenacres community!
$55 per student will cover holiday and end-of-year gifts for everyone.

**As a convenience for families, we are collecting class gifts at the same time as PTA dues. If you choose not to purchase gifts at this time, you can still do so by November 1, 2025.
Please reach out to Hina Afzal with any questions.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Some programs we run include after-school clubs, multicultural and STEAM events, community service projects, and parent get-togethers. Without your help, none of this would be possible. Please consider volunteering for the 2025-2026 school year by filling out our volunteer form HERE. You can find a description of all of the PTA committees on our website. We are seeking chairs or liaisons to help lead some key committees:
