They focus on building a strong relationship between families and schools, offering programs and events that encourage parent involvement and community engagement.
“These events create opportunities for everyone to engage in the school community, whether it's through family-friendly activities, learning about future career paths, or simply enjoying time together. By working together to organize and participate in these events, we strengthen the bond between the schools and the community, showing how vital it is to support our students and their education,” said Windham PTA President, Tiffany Sinclair.
Exciting events like Glow Night and the K-8 Career Fair provide opportunities for students to explore potential careers and build connections with local professionals.
Funds raised at these events play an instrumental role in supporting our schools, Sinclair said. Funds go toward purchasing classroom supplies, providing educational resources, and funding extracurricular programs in addition to providing enriching opportunities for students to grow both academically and personally in a dynamic and supportive learning environment.
Windham PTA aims to create an environment where every student excels, and they work to provide teachers and staff with the resources they need to succeed.
“We’ve been working hard to revitalize our efforts post-COVID and ensure we remain visible in the community. However, continued involvement from parents and community members is essential to ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential,” said Sinclair.
Strong participation goes toward ensuring students have the support they need when striving to reach their full potential, she said.
“The PTA is powered by volunteers, and the more people we have involved, the more we can do for our schools and students,” Sinclair said. “When community members volunteer, they not only contribute to the success of the PTA but also help create a more vibrant, supportive school culture. Volunteering is a great way to connect with other parents, teachers, and staff, while also showing our students the importance of giving back.”
Volunteer support assists Windham PTA in providing grants to classrooms, teams, specialists, and grade levels to help support their needs. It additionally goes toward extracurricular activities and awards two $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors looking to further their education. Staff Appreciation Days and conference dinners are organized as well for teachers across all schools by Windham PTA, helping to recognize and support local educators. Sinclair says more than 2,700 students and 400 staff members are impacted by these efforts.
