About Our PTA

Our PTA Pillars

Welcome to the heart of our school community, the Winter Park Elementary School PTA. We are a passionate and dedicated group of parents, teachers, and staff committed to three core pillars that define our mission and purpose.

1) Strengthen the WPES Community:

At Winter Park Elementary, we believe that a strong sense of community is the foundation for an enriching educational experience. Our PTA works tirelessly to foster connections among families, students, and staff. We organize a variety of family-friendly events throughout the year. These events bring us together, creating an atmosphere of warmth and unity. Through these gatherings, we forge lasting friendships, support one another, and build a sense of belonging within our school community.

2) Provide an Avenue for Student Families to Engage with the School:

We recognize the importance of active involvement from student families in their children's education. Our PTA serves as the bridge between home and school, providing a platform for parents and guardians to engage meaningfully in their child's educational journey. By attending PTA meetings, participating in committees, and volunteering in various capacities, you can directly contribute to the success of our school. Your voice matters, and your presence strengthens our collective impact.

Create an Inclusive & Equitable Experience for Students:

Diversity and inclusion are cornerstones of our PTA's philosophy. We are dedicated to ensuring that every student, regardless of background or ability, feels valued and supported. Our commitment to equity shines through initiatives that promote a welcoming and inclusive environment. We sponsor educational programs, cultural events, and activities that celebrate our diverse community. Our aim is to create a school where every child can thrive academically and socially, knowing they are accepted for who they are.

3) Support School Staff and Enable the Staff to Best Serve the Student Community:

Our educators play a vital role in shaping the future of our students. The PTA is unwavering in its commitment to supporting our school's exceptional staff. Through grants, classroom supplies, and volunteer assistance, we ensure that our teachers have the resources they need to provide top-notch education. We believe that when teachers are supported, they can focus on what they do best – nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning.

In summary, the Winter Park Elementary School PTA is dedicated to the principles of community, engagement, equity, and support. We invite you to join us in this important journey. Together, we will strengthen our community, engage with the school in meaningful ways, create an inclusive and equitable environment for our students, and provide unwavering support to our school staff. By working together, we can make Winter Park Elementary a place where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. Join us today, and let's shape the future of our school community together.
