About Care and Share

The Care and Share program provides students in need with resources to help ensure they have the tools to create a successful educational experience. The PTA manages an annual school supply drive, Community Celebration of Giving and provides other donations to support this mission.

In addition, the PTA provides enrichment activities for all students and families as well as teacher appreciation and supplies.

Operation Snowflake

During the holiday season, Operation Snowflake is an annual fundraiser for the PTA's care and share mission. Local Girl Scout troops craft homemade cards that the PTA sells and sends to recipients (teachers, family members, friends, and neighbors) acknowledging that a donation has been made in their honor to support the PTA's mission to support students, families and teachers.

Has your family outgrown your their spirit wear?
