If you would like any further information regarding Sycamore Elementary School PTA, please feel free to contact us.

Sycamore Elementary PTA offers many programs and activities for our children, families and staff. The ideas, time, talents and voices of our members all make a difference in our children’s education at Sycamore Elementary. Membership in our PTA shows support for the efforts made to provide our children with a safe learning environment and with an outstanding educational experience.

There are many ways to support the PTA. Some members attend the PTA meetings, serve on committees or help in classrooms. Others contribute food, organize the newsletter, count boxtops or volunteer during special PTA events. We understand that not everyone has time to be active in PTA. Membership alone adds strength to the body of our PTA. Just by being a member your vote adds volume to the voice of our PTA. When facing important issues, this voice helps insure our children’s safety and provides them with the best education possible. We invite all families (PTA members or not) to join us for our monthly PTA meetings and family events. Come and be an active part of our Sycamore Community!
