Over the years, we have seen the important role our parents, guardians and grandparents play at Freeman. Research shows time and again that parental/family involvement in a child’s school experience equals a more successful student.

Your PTA membership contributions go a long way to support our events and there is no need to volunteer if you are busy. If you do have some time, there are many ways you can engage at Freeman – from attending a family fun night or corporate sponsorship night, donating food, or volunteering for a committee – we are sure there is something just for you!

WHY DOES OUR SCHOOL NEED A PTA?

Our primary objective as a PTA is to provide our students with programs, resources and services that will enrich and maximize the education of each child. The PTA actively works to provide Freeman students with activities and opportunities that enrich their elementary school experience. The PTA does this with parent involvement through committees and working with teachers and staff.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO THAT IS RAISED BY THE PTA?

The PTA proudly supports the following programs an activities: class parties, school assemblies, classroom materials, family fun nights, the Fine Arts Festival, and so much more
Teacher appreciation events occur during the year to thank the teachers and staff for everything they do for the students of Freeman School.
The PTA pays for insurance to make sure that everyone is safe during sponsored events.
In addition, the PTA strives to provide financial resources for the school by helping fulfilling requests for equipment needed for educational support for our teachers and students.
