PTA Goals
The FKES PTA will continue to work on core goals — membership and outreach.
- We will reach 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 can 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.
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.
