The PTA's goal is to have all Daniel Bagley families and staff registered as members. Participation is open to parents, relatives, teachers, staff and/or any community member. A strong PTA membership helps us receive grants and successfully market our school. The cost is $18 per family or $10 per individual. For information on joining the Daniel Bagley PTA:

Highlights of PTA Contributions

In 2007-08 the fundraising goal of the PTA is to raise at least $80,000. The PTA will raise most of this revenue through the annual Jogathon in the fall, as well as through the Giving Campaign/Silent Auction in the winter. Additionally, the PTA raises money through an annual Wreath Sale in the winter, a Rummage Sale in the late spring, and two Book Fairs in the fall and spring. The Free Money Program, which pays the PTA for shopping where we already shop is also an important revenue generator. These funds will help Daniel Bagley in a variety of ways in 2007-08, including:

• Subsidies for the Librarian and Instrumental Music teacher salaries
• Field trips and 5th grade camp
• The “Visiting Artists” Program
• Allocations to teachers for classroom supplies
• Classroom tutors
• Special assemblies
• Art and Health & Fitness supplies
• School day and community enrichment programs

Building Community

The PTA has made it a priority to foster a strong sense of community at Daniel Bagley. One of the ways this is done is through annual “Family Fun Nights”. The Harvest Howl occurs at the end of October and celebrates the season with a range of festivities including costumes, a cake walk, games, crafts, snacks, and a (not-too) haunted house. The Bagley Bee Bop takes place in the winter and is an opportunity for families to enjoy live music, dance, play games, and eat together. A favorite PTA sponsored event is the Art Walk in May. This family event showcases the art accomplishments of the students over the school year with displays of artwork and performances of music and dance. The Art Walk is also traditionally the time of year when the PTA recognizes supporters with awards and also when the teachers recognize parent volunteers.
