The Goal of the PTA
To build community while supporting students, families & staff.
We do this by:
Providing opportunities for students and families to learn and have fun inside and outside of the school day
Providing monetary and human resources to support Ashlawn’s exceptional academic program

3. Four Key Areas
Learn More: After School Enrichment, Lawns to Lettuce for Lunch, First Grade Readathon, purchase of supplemental resources for classroom use
Have Fun: Back to School Picnic, Family Gym Night, Fun Fair, Family Restaurant Nights, Adult Social
Do Good: Global Citizens Project, Homeless Bagged Meals, supporting Ashlawn families and staff
Raise Funds: Augmenting the APS Budget

4. Why Raise Funds?
In the past 2 years the PTA has augmented the Ashlawn budget by:
Providing funds for Responsive Classroom Training
Providing teachers with the opportunity to attend professional development related to reading and writing workshop
Providing equipment such as the lower field playground, P.E. and Art materials, and supplemental music curriculum
Providing financial assistance for students to attend fieldtrips
