About

Mission

The Mission of the Olson Elementary PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

Purpose

The Purpose of the Olson Elementary PTA is to promote the welfare of children and build closer relationships between the home and the school so that families and teachers can collaborate in the education of children.

Who We Are

We meet monthly as an opportunity to connect parents, teachers, and administrators to learn and take in or offer ideas and suggestions. While the meeting is run by the PTA, we welcome everyone to attend the meetings! The more people that attend the meetings, the greater the benefit for everyone.

The members of Olson Elementary PTA are parents of students at Olson Elementary who want to help make the school experience as positive as possible. We plan fun activities, promote a positive learning environment, support teachers with stipends and appreciations, and enhance literacy through reading programs.

We welcome any parent/guardian to join however you are able.

Events and Fundraising

We host many community-building events throughout the year, some of which help fundraise so we can provide services for the students, staff, and school!

Some examples are:

Helping cover costs of field trips
- Each grade level is given an allowance of up to $1,000 per year
Providing extra teacher supplies and annual teacher stipends
- Each teacher is given an allowance of up to $200 per year
