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

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Our parent volunteers are the driving force of our PTA, helping to make new families feel welcomed, support students with many enrichment opportunities, and build community at Greenacres. 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.
Please feel free to reach out to Liza King if you have any questions about the time commitment or responsibilities of a particular committee. Thank you, and we look forward to working together in the year ahead!
