Why join the PTA? 
 

• Get access to registration for PTA-sponsored student activities such as before/after school classes and the spelling bee.

• You have a voice and a vote on PTA matters.

• Be part of a network of families, educators, and community members who advocate for our students.

• Your membership dues and tax-exempt donations go directly into PTA programs for all that support assemblies and author visits; spelling bee and science fair; house shirts; community events like the Panther Prowl, talent show, and block party; teacher appreciation; grants for specials classes, classrooms, and the school; and more.

• You might win some fun prizes!

• We love volunteers, but as a member it’s not a requirement to volunteer or join every meeting. All are welcome!

A full year's membership for any size family remains at $30 this year. Financial assistance is available for PTA memberships; please contact the Poplar Tree school counselor. ​The $5 teacher/staff membership will be free again this year. 

 

Your membership dollars and all of our fundraising dollars go directly back into the school to support your student's experience. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by volunteers, the Poplar Tree PTA provides funding and support including:

• School enhancements for all: The PTA supports supplies and items beyond standard curriculum items through classroom supply reimbursements to teachers; grants for art, music, and special programs; and overall grants for the school. 

• Student opportunities: We provide ways to for students to grow their skills and develop new interests through the spelling bee and science fair, as well as before/after school classes. These programs are sponsored and coordinated by the PTA and are a special benefit to our current PTA members.

• Family events: We create events that bring our community together, such as the Panther Prowl, Talent Show, and Block Party, as well as events for students such as assemblies and author visits, plus house shirts for all. 

• Teacher and staff appreciation: We support and recognize teachers and staff with appreciation events throughout the year.

• Volunteer coordination: Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your child’s experience, as well as contribute to the school. We coordinate everything from room parents to library volunteers to help with Friday folder copies to coordination of events and programs.
