PTA Overview
What is the PTA?
The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is the oldest and largest child advocacy association in America.
Today's PTA member is YOU!
Mom, Dad, grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister or brother. Children are 100% of the future, so you invest in your future and theirs by joining the PTA. Your membership commitment is why BTES PTA continues to be the largest supporter of our children.
How are BTES PTA Funds Used?
Did you know that state and county funds do not cover the most desired and important activities that help our children grow? Our teachers are also reaching into their own pockets to make their classrooms the wonderful places that our children grow to love. Funds from PTA memberships, sponsorships and donations are used to cover a variety of activities at our school. Without your support the following events, programs and resources would not exist:
Events and Programs
Back 2 School Bash
Holiday Shop
Teacher Appreciation Week
Breakfast with your Bison
Spring Fling
After School Program/Classes
Resources
Teacher School Supply Closet
Computer Technology
Physical Education Equipment
Music & Art Department Supplies
