Frequently asked questions about PTA Memberships
Why should I Join MOE PTA?
By joining the PTA as a family member, staff or community partner, you help us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of the budget. You also help build and strengthen our community.
If I join, do I have to go to meetings, spend my spare time in the classroom or volunteer for events?
Not unless you want to!
Becoming a member of the PTA supports the school, teachers, students and administration by helping us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of the budget.
When you go a step further and volunteer to help with events—or join our board— you set a fine example for our students to follow, and greatly encourage our teachers and staff, but it is not a requirement!
What types of things does the PTA membership fee go towards?
The PTA funds academic programs and materials for the teachers and students that enhance the learning environment within the school. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and any monetary contribution is completely tax deductible.
The MOE PTA is proud to have been able to:
Pay for STEM equipment - Purchase Recess Equipment - Provide Extra Grants & Supplies to Teachers - Fund the 5th Grade Legacy Project - Provide Lunch & Treats for Staff - Provide treats for students -
Why do we need to fundraise for the school?
While costs continue to rise, the school budget did not. Schools need more support for ancillary things. The school system supplies the basics, and we supply the extra to create the most enriching learning environment possible for everyone!
PTA Participation
The PTA board members and staff at Manning Oaks Elementary are committed to ensuring that all students and their families are able to participate in MOE activities throughout the year. We recognize that these are challenging times, and we do not wish for any child to miss out on a PTA activity for financial reasons. For further information and assistance, and to ensure complete confidentiality, please contact our school counselor.
