Join & Support PFA

Why Join and Support the PFA?

Because your participation matters!  

Here is what some parents said about PFA after they joined.

"I felt like I didn't know what was going on in middle school, then I attended my first PFA meeting and finally felt like I had a place to get my questions answered!  The Superintendent was even there and spent time answering MY questions!  I couldn't believe how personable and helpful the entire administration was that day. Plus they had great coffee :-)"

"My 8th grader didn't want me anywhere near campus, I felt so removed.  I decided to volunteer at the Ability Awareness Fair since this was a 7th grade program and it wouldn't embarrass him. I am so glad I did!  Seeing these kids and their capacity for compassion filled me with joy.  Plus I met some other great parents and even learned about an online calendar I didn't know existed.  Thank you PFA for putting on these programs and bringing us parents into the fold to catch a glimpse."

"I went to my first PFA meeting after an event was scheduled on a religious holiday.  I was ready to fight!  And then I walked in to something I never expected, open-minds and a desire to do better.  Becuase I attended this meeting, I was able to educate the board and was even invited to help with calendaring in the future so it didn't happen again.  The PFA made me feel important. If I hadn't gone to that meeting, I would have seethed quietly when it just wasn't necessary."
