MEET THE PTA BOARD
Why do I PTA?
Lluvia Monarrez
President
Knowing that our public schools do not have all the resources they need to provide the highest quality education for ALL students, I PTA so that:
-
ALL children have all the resources they need to succeed.
-
Teachers and school site staff feel supported in our mutual goal to help ALL children succeed.
-
Now that I am fortunate enough to be involved in my daughter’s school and education, parents like my own (and so many others that did not have the opportunity to be involved) have an advocate and ally in me for their own children’s and family’s success.
Nathalie
