Beyond events, the PTA funds and supports ongoing programs that enrich learning, celebrate students, and help teachers.
Your volunteer time and donations make these possible!
Upcoming PTA-supported Programs
Highlights
The Key PTA sponsors a variety of programs that provide enrichment opportunities for students. Because the PTA is a 100% volunteer-run organization, we are always looking for support to help run these programs — whether just a few hours per month or more.
