The Daniel Bagley Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a 100% voluntary committee of parents, staff, and neighbors working together to enhance the success of our vibrant school. A partnership of parents, teachers and staff—the PTA dedicates its available resources and energy to help fulfill the academic, social, and emotional needs of students at Daniel Bagley. PTA meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month; it is not necessary to come to the meetings to be a PTA member!

Highlights of PTA Contributions

In 2009-10 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/Auction in the winter. Additionally, the PTA raises money through an annual Wreath Sale in the winter, the Free Money Program (which pays the PTA for shopping where we already shop) and Chinook Book sales. We also raise money for library books through a Book Fair in the fall.

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. A favorite PTA sponsored event is the Art Walk in May, which 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.
