Budget for 2025-2026

As we embark on another year of community support, our budget committee is eager to share that our membership approved our proposed budget for the 2025-2026 school year. We believe this budget supports the educational experience of every student at our school and is a concrete representation of our PTA’s values of equity, collaboration, community-centricity, and transparency.

Though our fundraising last year was not substantial enough to fund 2025-2026 proposed budget, the money we raised, in combination with surplus from previous years, will fund our spending for 2025-2026.
