Mission Statement

Teachers and children need you!

PTA recognizes the need!

• “At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents.” –Former Arizona Gov. Jane Dee Hull

• “Parents are a child’s first educator, and with the ever-increasing pressure placed on classroom teachers for students to achieve, the PTA plays a vital role in offering the opportunity for parents to assist teachers in the most valuable of endeavors—the education of their child.” – Katy Goldsmith, Yellow Branch Elementary School 4th-grade teacher, Campbell County, Virginia
