9/20/2024: We had a great turnout at our first PTA meeting of the year. We thank all those who were able to attend. The PTA has some new board members and we are all excited for the year ahead!

For those who couldn’t attend, we wanted to take this opportunity to let families know that some events this year may look different than they did in the past, such as the Fall Festival. The PTA has decided to take this event off school grounds and move it to Sunnyside Farms. Last year, we had to limit ticket sales due to capacity at the school and that was something we didn’t want to keep doing and being able to offer this event at Sunnyside allows the PTA to open the event to all students and families.

The PTA is constantly brainstorming for ideas for new events and fundraisers that will benefit Division Street. We hope to share those ideas in the coming months. Look for PTA updates on Facebook, Instagram and right here on the PTA website!
