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

What does the PTA provide?
  • Field trips
  • 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 (ex: Monster Mash)
  • PTA Website
  • Campus Beautification​

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:
  • Invest in the Nest!
  • Spring Auction
And other smaller fundraisers:
  • Book Fair
  • Passive fundraisers including: eScrip, BoxTops, AmazonSmile, & OhmConnect 
  • Restaurant Nights
