The Pierpont PTA has several goals, but our #1 goal is to enhance the educational experience of the children of Pierpont Elementary School. We do this through fundraising and support for ongoing and special programs, as well as improving the quality of materials used on campus. Some of the funds raised go towards things such as after school enrichment programs, fine arts and historical assemblies, field trips, leadership awards, the school carnival and the talent show. The other portion of the funds goes towards tangible items such as computers, furniture, and playground equipment. The PTA is an encourager of an enriched social and educational experience. We try to assist the teachers, principal and staff with their quest for academic excellence at our school. We do not see our role as directing the staff in any way, but in encouraging them to use whatever resources we can provide, and to pursue knowledge and experiences of their own to share with the children. We feel that parents, together with teachers and staff, can and do "make a difference" at Pierpont.
