Cleveland School PTA, Neighbor

The F.A. Cleveland School P.T.A. is a partnership of parents, guardians and faculty, working together to facilitate communication and understanding within the school community, and to provide a more enriched educational and social experience for students. This association is open to all parents, guardians and faculty of the F.A. Cleveland School. Monthly board meetings are held at the school in the evening and all parents, guardians and faculty are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

Our P.T.A. is committed to making our school an even better place for our children to learn and grow. The P.T.A. raises funds to pay for cultural arts programs and field rips that support our curriculum, school gifts and numerous other projects. We also plan some of the school year’s most anticipated events, including the annual Monster Mash and Game Nights, as well as events more educational in nature, including the school’s Math & Science night and our March Reading program. These activities are designed to challenge and entertain our students and families.

Additionally, the P.T.A. provides support in various ways to our school faculty, as well as grade enrichment as needed. Over the years, the P.T.A. has been able to gift many greatly items to our school, including:

A Smart Board

Lap Top Computers and Computer Equipment

A Copier for the Art Room

A Dye-Cutting Machine

Choral Risers

Curtains for the Cafetorium

Library Books

Playground Equipment

We also try to give back to our community. We award scholarships each year to graduating high school seniors who attended the Cleveland School and we support numerous worthy causes in Norwood.

<br> Fundraising is accomplished by collecting membership dues, and by various fundraising activities, including soliciting ads in the school calendar, running book fairs, having sales campaigns, collecting Box Tops for Education, and coordinating school social events, among other things. And, we gratefully acknowledge those who work so hard on our school’s behalf: the parents, volunteers, students, faculty, principal, secretary, and cafeteria and custodial staff.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to contact P.T.A. board members or the school office if they would like to be more involved in the P.T.A. There are many ways that parents can support their child’s school via our P.T.A. Some areas we seek volunteers each year are as library assistants, lunch and playground chaperones, room parents and as members at large of the P.T.A. We continue to be in great need of help and your consideration is most appreciated.
