Programs We Support
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!
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.
