As the Parent Teacher Association at Alexander Doniphan, we strive to bridge the gap between the school and the families whose children attend the school.
We are made up of parents who have children attending Alexander Doniphan and desire to volunteer our time to help the school and the students who attend. We invite you to join us as we plan events and make decisions regarding the PTA funds. We look forward to a fun and exciting 2025-2026 school year!
What does the PTA do?
PTA stands for "Parent Teacher Association"...but the heart of what we do is always centered around our kids. We work to:
Build community and a sense of belonging for all students, staff and families at AD through fun events and activities during the school day and beyond
Provide opportunities for enrichment, learning and growth through educational and cultural arts programs and experiences
Enhance the learning environment by funding teacher- and student-led grants for classroom, playground and school resources
Support our teachers, administrators and staff by coordinating volunteers, providing food for special occasions, and partnering with them to provide the best possible school experience for students
How can I help?
There are many ways to get involved, and they don't require a huge investment of your time and resources. Here are some ideas:
Become a PTA member! It's simple, affordable, and open to anyone.
Explore volunteer opportunities--we have something for everyone. Daytime, evening, one-time event help, work from home roles, specialized talents like photography/design/bookkeeping...if you want to help, we'll find a place for you! Contact a PTA officer today!
Donate--your tax-deductible gift goes directly to support the mission of the PTA.
We had a fantastic year last year. We hosted Donuts with Grown Ups, Breakfast with Grandparents, a family picnic, movie night, Bingo Night, raised $29,000 during our Read-A-Thon and celebrated our amazing staff and teachers during Staff Appreciation Week! We thank you for all of your support to make these events happen!
Our students love having extra playtime during family fun nights.
