Green Mountain School P.T.S.A
“Our mission is to inspire the parents and community of Green Mountain School District to make a difference in our children’s education through financial generosity and volunteer commitment.”
Green Mountain’s PTA is a gathering of parents committed to providing interesting activities to supplement our children’s education. Our biggest events are the book fairs, Halloween Carnival concession stand, and Christmas Wishes. The Scholastic Book Fair provides a great opportunity for students to purchase quality books and educational materials at reasonable prices, as well as earning free books and materials for our new library. In December, our organization holds the Christmas Wishes Gift Shop, where students can purchase reasonably priced gifts for their family and friends. The P.T.S.A. also provides refreshments for events throughout the year, and purchases educational equipment.
We are always happy to see new faces. Whether you have ideas, input, or time to volunteer, come to a meeting and help support our school!
