Role and Goals of the PTA
The PTA is a liaison between the school and the parents. The PTA's goals are to assist with fund raisers, support family events and improve the community as a whole. The PTA works together with the school, but does not make policies.
The PTA has a couple email addresses for you to be aware of.
- Use lewandpo@pwcs.edu or spumpelly@aol.com
- for parents with questions, concerns or interest in getting involved with the PTA. Just send an email and one of the officers will get back to you soon!
- Use lewandpo@pwcs.edu regarding volunteer opportunities (see below for more information on volunteering).
