Welcome to Delaware PTA!
If you’ve never been a part of PTA or it’s been awhile, then we encourage you to join our team! With your help this can be Delaware’s best year yet!!
You may be wondering what is PTA? Well, PTA is…
- A powerful voice for all children
- A relevant resource for families and communities
- A strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child
At Delaware, PTA works hard to support the teachers, provide fun activities and programs for children along with meeting special needs the school may have like the new Audio Visual System in the All Purpose Room that was installed this past school year.
Who can join PTA? Parents, Teacher, Grandparents, Relatives, Friends, Businesses and anyone who cares about kids and Delaware Elementary!
