our objectives
Embedded Files
Establish and maintain a collaborative, inclusive, and transparent relationship among parents/ caregivers, our school and our community.
Focus on PTA core values and ensure that all PTA decisions are based on those beliefs, the school’s mission and vision, and the PTA bylaws.
Enhance the quality of education by raising funds for school supplies and programs that fall outside the school budget.
advocacy
Advocacy is sharing a story or experience that your child, school or community is dealing with and turning it into an action item – or a request – for a new policy, protocol, change in funding formula or improved training opportunity. Please click here to learn more about how the PTA advocates to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of all children.
appreciation
Part of the Sternberger Elementary PTA's purpose is to help our teachers and staff feel appreciated. We have a dedicated Appreciation Committee that is committed to celebrating the exceptional Sternberger staff who work tirelessly to enrich our students' education. Please click here to get more information about all the things our Appreciation Committee is doing and how you can help.
events
While we may sound like a lot of business, we like everyone to have fun too. The PTA hosts several events throughout the year for our students and our Sternberger Community. Please click here to learn more about our PTA event.
fundraising
Fundraising is not the purpose of PTA. The Sternberger Elementary PTA achieves our mission to provide all students with opportunities and experiences that the school budget can't cover. So let's be real, that takes money. Please click here to learn more about how we raise funds and how those funds are spent.
programs & enrichment
The Sternberger PTA plans and executes a variety of educational programs and enrichment opportunities for our Sternberger community throughout the year. Please click here to get more information about the PTA's programs and enrichment.
