What is PTA? How can I get involved?

PTA stands for Parent Teacher Association, a school-based organization with a mission to make school a better place for students to learn. We are a group of mothers, fathers, family members, teachers and administrators that work together to create fun events, purchase supplies for students and staff, and collaborate with others to enrich our students' experiences at school.

Each $10 membership directly supports your Bolin Elementary student!
