WHY HAVE A FAIR? The PTA School Fair is important for two reasons. First, it is our largest community event of the year. Families, neighbors, and teachers take time out to foster a strong community bond. Second, it is one of the PTA's main fundraising events of the year. Prior years have helped fund play structures, extra library and leveledreader books, character programs and teacher start-up to name just a few. If you wish to find out more about the PTA activities and how we impact the school, contact the PTA President Erin Pitcher at
[email protected] or 281-620-3722.
