• What is the PTA? 

     

    The PTA provides support and community building for 

    Vestal families and staff. Our contributions include:

    • Providing funding and resources for teacher projects and urgent needs of students and community members. 

    • Collaborating with Vestal community partners such as SUN (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods) & Grow Portland on various projects and events throughout the school year. 

    • Organizing and hosting community building events. Past events include the Winter Bazaar, Family Movie Nights, Pancake Breakfasts, and the spring Social Justice Celebration. 

     To accomplish this work, we raise funds through community focused events held throughout the school year. There are many ways to be involved and help support our students at Vestal!

     

    Below are a few ways you can support our work:

    Attend PTA meetings:

    Held either virtually or in person (in Room 210 upstairs) on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 pm. 

    All are welcome at any meeting!
