Welcome to the Graham Elementary Parent Teacher Association!
We are looking forward to a great year of learning and fun for our kids. Our PTA serves to enhance the educational environment right here at Graham. We fund and organize a variety of educational enrichment programs, health and safety activities and social events for the students at Graham. Additionally, we support our staff with hospitality throughout the year and give back to the community with several service projects. We invite you all to join the PTA and get involved. Whether you have a little time or a lot of time, there is something for everyone. Volunteer for a committee, contribute to a fundraising activity, attend monthly meetings, or call us with feedback or a new idea! The PTA is a great way to get involved, meet new friends and give back to our fabulous school and staff.
Our goal is for every Graham family to become a member of the Graham PTA. Your Membership helps fund all of our programs throughout the year, which support students, teachers, and the entire Graham community! To join, go to https://grahampta.memberhub.com/
