Announcements

September 2026 Teacher of the Month

David Lozada

Join us in celebrating Mr. Lozada! Here are the kind words shared in the nominations...

"Mr. Lozada taught our daughter structure, responsibility, kindness, gentleness, because he demonstrated this every single day"

"He is patient, kind, and truly has the children’s interest in heart. We loved every day that my daughter came home because Mr. Lozada made a huge impact in her life."

"He has stepped up all summer and helped prep for the start of school, is always positive and likes to get things done for his team and the entire school."

"What makes Mr. Lozada so special is the way he consistently goes above and beyond to make his students feel valued, appreciated, and excited to come to school. He always has a smile on his face and genuinely invests in his students’ well-being. He doesn’t just teach his students—he makes them feel seen, supported, and important, which is why we believe he is so deserving of Teacher of the Month."

Money Matters

The PTA raises funds through membership dues, spirit wear sales, business sponsorships, donations, and other sources. While these funds are essential for supporting our annual programs and events—such as the Glow Party, Teacher Appreciation Week, and other student and staff activities—they do not fully cover all of the associated costs.

To help bridge that gap, the PTA organizes fundraisers throughout the school year. Most of these fundraisers support the PTA's general operating needs, allowing us to continue providing enriching events and programs for our school community. Occasionally, the PTA also holds targeted fundraisers to help purchase specific high-cost items requested by the school or teachers that directly benefit our students.

Current Fundraisers
