What is the PTA?
The Parent–Teacher Association (PTA) is a dedicated group of parents, teachers, and staff working together to support every child. We aim to increase parental involvement, strengthen school and community connections, advocate for students, enhance educational opportunities, and foster open communication between families, administrators, and the Board of Education.
Membership is open to anyone who shares the mission and values of the National PTA. When you join our local PTA, you also become a member of both the state and National PTAs.
Together, we are a powerful voice for children. With your support, we can continue working toward our shared goal: providing every child with a quality education and a nurturing environment.
What Does the Searingtown PTA Do?
At Searingtown, the PTA works hand-in-hand with parents and teachers to bring extra fun, learning, and community spirit to our school—both during and after school hours. Together, we make special programs and events come to life, including The Brain Show, National Circus Project, The Power of One, Health & Safety Week Apples, Spirit Week Pep Rally Giveaway, Author Visits, Day 1 Care Packages (T-shirt, folder, and pencils), Back-to-School Night and Picnics, our beloved Flag Day BBQ Luncheon, and so much more. Every event is designed to create memorable experiences for our children and to keep our Searingtown community strong and connected all year long.
