Welcome to the Forest Knolls Elementary Parent Teacher Association!
Our PTA is an active part of FKES, responsible for bringing countless programs to our students and enriching their elementary school days.
The FKES PTA has established two goals for 2009-2010 — membership and outreach.
- This year we hope to focus on reaching out to the larger school community and encouraging a sense of volunteerism and involvement with the programs and children of FKES.
- With higher membership, we aim to increase the clout we have as an organization at the local, state, and national level when advocating for our children.
- With carefully planned family oriented programming, we hope to infuse every part of FKES with a feeling of community, family, and cooperation.
As we all know, when parents and families are involved, our children benefit.
We hope you take the opportunity to become involved in the FKES PTA and make a difference in the life of your child and the children in your community. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us… together we can be the change we want to see in our school!
