The ARES PTA hosted, facilitated or provided supplies for many activities and events during the 2016/17 school year. We hope that YOU will volunteer to help at these events or others during the upcoming school year. (See "Ways to Volunteer" page). The PTA's busy year included: Volunteering at each of our school Book Fairs, providing supplies and gifts for the 5th grade promotion ceremonies, hosting an ice cream social/membership drive event, contributing to the Trunk or Treat event, hosting a Family dance, hosting a luncheon and providing gifts for our staff during Staff Appreciation Week, hosting Pastries for Parents, facilitating Family Involvement Week which included a family read aloud day, hosting a family Bingo night, stocking our Friday school store, facilitating fall and spring fundraisers, and our biggest accomplishment: purchasing a canopy to provide shade for our students at recess part of which was paid for by a grant the PTA received from Lowe's.
