The Trabuco Elementary PTA  mission is to positively impact the lives of all children, families and our community. 

Now more than ever we need the support of our Trabuco Elementary families.

WHY JOIN THE PTA?

• You will get to partner with the principal, teachers and staff to make your child's school safe, welcoming, a great place of learning and a fun place to be.

• You can connect with other parents while becoming part of California State PTA and National PTA, the largest and most powerful children's advocacy organization. (Note: You DO NOT have to volunteer or join meetings, though we'd be happy to have you!).

• You will help make sure parents' and family members' voices are heard when important decisions are made that affect Trabuco Elementary.

• PTA will provide opportunities for engagement and connections, including the Reflections art program, Jog-A-Thon, Imagination Machine, staff appreciation, the Fall Feast, Campout, and Hoe Down.

Single Membership $15

PTA membership is open to everyone – not just parents and teachers! Please ask family members, friends, business leaders, and community members to support Trabuco Elementary by joining the PTA.
