Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of Peninsula Elementary School

How do I get involved?

First, we want to welcome you and all individuals to our school! We have such a great community here at Peninsula and are so glad you are here!  The PTA is a great way to stay connected with other families and members at Peninsula and keep up to date on the happenings at our school! We recommend that you follow us and like our Facebook page. Next, please join the PTA officially and sign up for our monthly e-blast. Please also check out our website for more information and upcoming volunteer opportunities. If your schedule allows, we would love to see you at our monthly meetings. 

For the 2020-21 school year meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month via Zoom from 6:30-7:30 p.m. 

You need not be a member to participate in meetings, though you do need a membership to vote on official business.

Opportunities abound!  We look forward to meeting you. 

The Peninsula PTA Membership

FREE MEMBERSHIP this year! We are sponsoring and renewing memberships for 20-21. We recognize this is a tough year, we are here for each other! There is always a business component to each meeting wherein the Treasurer provides an update on our income, spending, and overall financial position. We also discuss upcoming events, recap recent events, give parents and opportunity to ask questions to our Principal, Debbie Armendariz, and frequently feature a guest speaker on a school or family-related topic. Meeting agendas and minutes are available to the public and posted on this website. (list our website) All PTA members are invited to attend meetings although attendance is not required.

Aside from monthly virtual gatherings, PTA members stay involved and are updated about coming events and volunteer opportunities via email and our public Facebook page.  

Our PTA members are parents, grandparents, teachers, students, community members and administrators who care about the school.  We all believe that schools succeed when parents are involved.  Please join us!

What does the PTA do?

We plan fun things! We raise money! We work with administration, faculty,  and parents to identify the needs of the school and fill the gaps where we can. In past school years, the PTA organizes a back-to-school Ice Cream Social, Peninsula Clothing Closet, Fall Fundraiser, Fall Harvest Festival, a Family Movie Night, School dance, Dine Our Nights, Trivia Night, Teacher Appreciation Week, we also maintain a presence at our neighbor Kenton Street Fair, and so much more! 

Where does our money go?

We give a portion to our teachers and staff to support their classroom needs in the form of " Enrichment Grants." Enrichment grants are used to foster learning and aid with class projects, field trips, technology, specialty classroom furniture, supplies, academic subscriptions, books and more.  Remaining funding is used to produce PTA-sponsored events and projects at the school.
