White Oak Elementary Parent Teacher Association

The White Oak Parent Teacher Association is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) made up of committed parents and teachers. Our mission is to bring families, the school, and the community together to positively impact the lives of everyone at White Oak. The PTA provides events, activities, and special programs that make this an outstanding school. We also raise funds to help meet school needs that are outside the scope of the school's budget—everything from grade-specific enrichment resources to updating technology and community programs.

WHY DOES THE PTA NEED TO FUNDRAISE?

County and statewide budget cuts continue to reduce what our schools can provide to students.  Supplies, technology, facility upgrades, and enrichment activities are no longer supported entirely by government funds. To keep our children’s educational opportunities at the level that they deserve, White Oak PTA steps in to raise money to fill the gaps left by budget cuts.

WHAT DOES THE PTA PAY FOR?

The PTA funds major projects like the playground sunshades, updates to the grounds, and more. The PTA also works to support teachers in all aspects of their jobs. We know that the key to retaining quality faculty and staff is to make them feel respected and valued. Academic grants, classroom supplies, and teacher appreciation events all help show our staff that we recognize and appreciate their tireless work for our children. Take a look at our flyer showing all of the places our donations and volunteer time are spent.

WHAT ABOUT FUN THINGS?

We think that kids should have a GREAT time at school! Field Day, Spring Carnival, and more give White Oak families a chance to connect, have fun and build school community. Teachers often attend and volunteer and the students love seeing their teachers having fun, too!

BUT SCHOOL IS FOR LEARNING!

We’ve got that covered, too!  We provide support to the teachers for their individual classrooms, as well as funding for our many amazing, educational specials classes. We also fund investments in books, learning materials, and more.
