Haun’s PTA supports critical academic needs, is an active voice on decisions that impact your child’s health, safety and quality of education, and builds a stronger, more inclusive school community. We invite you to JOIN and PTA For Your Child because increasing our membership, even by one, makes it possible to:                    

• Community Building events (Family picnic, International Night, etc)  
  
• Extra educational materials (Scholastic flyers, library books, art supplies, assemblies)
• 3 class parties throughout the year
• Teacher Grants and so much more .....

We invite you to join because we can do much more together than apart. By joining the PTA, it simply makes you an advocate for your child.  You do not have to volunteer or go to PTA meetings.  But, remember you are definitely welcome!

The PTA welcomes all forms of Volunteers and we appreciate whatever time you have to offer!
