PTA Your Way - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

A huge THANK YOU to those who joined the PTA this year. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, we have met our initial goal to fully fund the membership portion of our budget!

It's not too late to join and continue supporting all of the wonderful events and efforts for our Mustang community. Your $30 membership dues ($10 for faculty/staff) will directly go to support field trips, free events for the school community and the needs of students and teachers in the classroom.

With changing budgets, our school needs our support more than ever. Click to join the PTA for the 2025-2026 School Year!

The Fine Print: Joining the PTA does not obligate you to volunteering for events, you can PTA Your Way and participate (or not) in the ways you feel comfortable! We appreciate your support.
