Watts’ the PTA Up To
Supporting Student Needs: Our Backpack Buddy program provides snacks on weekends and during school breaks for those who need them. The program is expanding in both size and scope due to student needs.
Supporting the Classroom: The PTA supports the classroom by providing each classroom with money they can use how they see fit, as well as providing classroom subscriptions. Anyone can apply for a special project/new initiative grant (Application).
Supporting our Teachers and Staff: The PTA organizes teacher and staff appreciation throughout the year as well as supports staff professional development.
Supporting the Community: The PTA uses funds for family nights, end-of-year celebrations, and community events—including Movie Night and the Spring Carnival.
Supporting Extracurriculars: The PTA funds clubs and field trips so all students may attend regardless of cost.
Supporting the Playground: The PTA organizes Grounds Work Days and helps with coordinating landscaping, litter removal, and general playground upkeep. We also have an edible garden!
See a Need?
If you see an area of need that we've overlooked, we welcome fresh ideas and perspectives. In fact, the Watts PTA encourages applications to its Special Projects and New Initiatives fund by all community members (Application).
