What is the PTA?

The Lowell Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is an active link between students, teachers and parents. We are a voice and a resource for parents, an advocate for children and support for our school staff.

PTA Objectives:

Lowell PTA’s main objectives are to improve the educational environment for our children, to increase student success through the programs we support, and to involve parents actively in our school. (Research shows parent involvement makes a big difference in children’s school success.)

Some of the ways we seek to meet these objectives are by sponsoring the following activities:
