2023 - 2024 PTA Board
Purple Sage Elementary School PTA Board members dedicate at least one year of their time and energy to the Purple Sage Elementary School Parent Teacher Association. PS PTA Board members conduct meetings, recommend programs and partnerships for the benefit of Purple Sage students and teachers, and manage the business operations of PTA. We also raise money to help eliminate financial barriers to additional education opportunities. PTA initiatives are recommended by the Board and its' members. Each one of our initiatives are determined by our guiding principles: eliminate financial barriers to education, enhance learning experiences, strengthen communication between home and school, and encourage every child to grow.
Being a PTA Board member is not all work - we actually gain much more than we give. Being a Board member enables you to bond with parents, teachers and students, be the first to learn about school news and events, be immersed in the social atmosphere of your child's school, help shape the quality of education at Purple Sage, and much, much more. Your involvement makes a huge difference in our school community.
A PTA Board Member's term begins in August and concludes in June of the following year. PTA Board Member nominations are in April and members are elected in May. Contact us at psptapresident@gmail.com if you are interested in making a difference at your child's school.
