What is the Laurel PTA and what does it do for Laurel Elementary School?
The Laurel PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is a group of parents, teachers and staff working together to make our children's education the best it can be. 

At Laurel, the PTA enhances our children's learning experience by exposing them to activities, assemblies and tools that are not funded by the State or our School District. In order to provide additional programs for Laurel's students, fundraising is required, and your participation is crucial.
​
What Does the PTA Provide?
  • Field trip buses and classroom enrichment
  • Student Programs and assemblies
  • Classroom and enrichment materials
  • Computer equipment, maintenance and other educational equipment
  • Art-In Action art program
  • Books for the school library
  • Community Events
  • PTA Website
  • Campus Beautification
  • Art & Science Day

The Laurel PTA provides over $100,000 in programs, enrichment materials, and activities for Laurel's students!  

The PTA funds these programs through fundraising.
We look to Laurel parents and our community to help us raise the funds, historically through 2 major fundraisers:
  • Move-A-Thon
  • Spring Auction
And other smaller fundraisers:
  • Book Fair
  • Passive fundraisers including: eScrip, BoxTops, AmazonSmile, & OhmConnect 
  • Restaurant Nights, Honey Bear Christmas Trees, and Talbots Toy Store shopping days 

When does the PTA Membership meet?

General Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday in August, September, November, January, March and May unless there are scheduling conflicts with the school calendar.  Changes in this schedule will be posted as soon as a conflict is determined, but least 10 days prior to the new date.  Please join us!   Light Refreshments and Free Childcare (in the Annex) are always provided! Everyone is welcome to attend, but only PTA members are allowed to vote.
