Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 School Year!
Elisa Nelson Parent Teacher Association is striving to build on the foundation we've established over the past few years and continue to support and advocate for  our students, families, teachers and staff.  Welcome to our site!

President's Message

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year here at Elisa Nelson Elementary! My name is Kristen and I will be serving as your PTA president this school year. We have a fantastic team and have been preparing for an amazing school year ahead with events to help enrich our learning community. We are going into our sixth year here at ENE and plan to continue to build on the wonderful foundation that has been established by the boards before us. Our community is always at the heart of everything we do, and we plan to continue to support and advocate for all of our students, families, teachers, and staff. This year we will continue to expand on our past successes including:

• Hosting the Blazer Blizzard and Science Exploration Night (formerly known as the Spring Carnival)

• Providing classroom grants and supporting SEM clusters

• Organizing the PTA Angel Tree and blessing a sister school with wonderful holiday gifts 

• Revamping our Holiday Shoppe, sharing its proceeds to help fund a sister schools field day

• Restocking FEAST food pantry with a food drive

• Lending our support to school-led events throughout the year, such as Grandparent’s Day, Spooky Story Night, Field Day, and more

• Showing our fantastic staff appreciation throughout the entire school year and spoiling them, as they so truly deserve, during Staff Appreciation Week

• Providing t-shirts for the entire school body which will be used for class field trips and on field day

• Supporting our school’s efforts to turf the PE fields

In the 2024-2025 school year, the PTA plans to do all of this and more! We invite you to become an active participant in the Elisa Nelson Elementary PTA. Membership is the first step and helps to support these initiatives. While we love our volunteers, being a PTA member does not come with a volunteer requirement. Please see the attached flyers for membership, sponsorship, volunteer information, as well as how to order from our apparel store. The deadline to order is August 21st. You will also see a form coming home to help aid us in facilitating room parent communication and collecting t-shirts sizes for the shirts we will be providing. Please be sure to select a shirt size that your child can wear all school year long. 

I am really looking forward to diving into my new position and getting to know all of you! On behalf of the entire PTA board, we hope you have an amazing school year and we can't wait to see you on campus! Go Blazers!
