WHAT IS THE PTA?
You are already in it.
PS 20 PARENTS & TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Every family with a student currently enrolled at PS20 is a member of the PTA. There is no sign-up and no dues.
All members of the PS 20 community can join the weekly and monthly meetings - check the calendar for schedule and meeting link.
What does the PTA do?
Last year the PTA spent roughly $500 per student on things the Department of Education budget doesn't cover.
This year's fundraising goes to four things:
Our flagship programs. Mosaic, Green Arts, School Aides, and Community Support — the programs that make a PS 20 education distinctive, and that exist because families fund them.
Events that bring families together. Movie Nights, Octoberfest, Brotherhood, and our multicultural celebrations.
Our JEDI values. Diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and social justice, put into practice across the school community.
Our teachers and staff. Appreciation events, and helping with the cost of classroom materials and supplies that teachers would otherwise buy themselves.
How the PTA works
The PTA runs through committees covering everything from literacy and STEAM to safe streets and teacher appreciation, overseen by an elected board of parent volunteers. Decisions about spending are made in open meetings that any family can attend.
Come be part of it
You don't need to join anything or take on a role. The simplest way in is to show up to a meeting and see what we're working on.
