Why Join the PTA?
Help Your Children. . .
Your membership dues and donations have a direct and positive impact on your children and our school. How, you may ask?
With your help, the PTA is able to organize programs and support academic excellence at Fallsmead through activities like the Science Fair, cultural arts programs, speakers/assemblies, the Artist-In-Residency program, and providing Time for Kids.
The PTA also supports after school educational opportunities through our organization of After School Activities like chess, robotics, art, and sensational science, to name a few.
We also focus on building student character with community service projects like Pennies for Patients, Make A Wish, and donating books and supplies to urban schools with limited resources.
. . .And Our School!
Your membership dues and donations also allow the Fallsmead PTA to support the wonderful teachers and staff that make the Fallsmead experience so fantastic for your children.
The PTA empowers school educators by helping to fund teacher wish lists and fulfilling special classroom requests from teachers.

We also value and reward our teachers through staff appreciation events throughout the year and the staff luncheon before school starts.
