Our PTA supports students and teachers from PreK through 8th grade across all 3 District 60 schools. We fund and run student enrichment programs like the national arts competition Reflections, Cultural Festival, and Science Fair (on top of some fun events.) We also fund school initiatives like One Book, One School, curriculum support materials, equipment, field trips, and more!
