Events

As each new school year begins, new goals are set by all. For school-age children, the goal is to work hard and become better students. For us parents, the goal is to love and support our children so they can become good students now and good citizens tomorrow. We accomplish our goals through daily actions and by being involved in our school. If a student is to get the most out of their school years and build a solid foundation for their life, the student's parent or parents must be involved in some manner.

Our Parent-Teacher Association offers many ways in which parents can help the school and their student reach goals. The PTA Executive Board meets the second Tuesday of each month to determine the best direction our support can take at the present time. Please read our mission statement below.

Mission Statement
Guided by our recognition of the importance of public education and the acknowledgement that all children have a right to that education, the Parent Teacher Association of the South Greenville Elementary School resolves to contribute its resources to the betterment of all South Greenville Elementary School students.
Towards that end, we seek to contribute in meaningful ways:

To support the administration, faculty, and staff in the education of
South Greenville Students.
To encourage parental and public involvement at South Greenville
Elementary School.
To be advocates of public education in the community.
To help provide a safe, healthy, and pleasant environment for student
learning,
