Parent Teacher Association

Support the PTA by volunteering your time! Everyone is a member of the PTA. Contact cwspta@childrensworkshopschool.org with any questions or ideas.

Being a Children’s Workshop School caregiver means you are a part of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA).

The PTA Does That?!

At Children’s Workshop School, our “family under one sky” is committed to a rich educational experience for every child. In order to provide many of our programs that the department of education does not fund, we raise money in many different ways.

What we fund

* Music

* Dance

* Yoga

* Technology

* Bridges K-5 Math Books

* Enrichment Field Trips

* Hydroponics Lab

* And more!

How we raise funds

* Donations (company matches)

* Events (like Schoolapalooza)

* CWS Merchandise sales

* School dress up day donations

* Children’s Film Fest (percentage of proceeds)

* Grants

* Corporate Donations

Some ways to support CWS:

Donate to CWS
Read about volunteer opportunities and sign up to volunteer for specific events.
Share your contact information and talents with the PTA and we will reach out to you!

The PTA is the most direct vehicle for caregivers involvement in the school, allowing them to serve as partners both in their children’s educations and in the schools themselves. Involvement can mean inspiring caregivers to attend meetings, volunteer with activities and events, support classroom work, and bring needed resources to the school.

General PTA meetings are held once a month. The meeting is your forum to voice opinion, discuss ideas, and participate in your child’s education.
