PTA In Action at Pearce
The JJP PTA is a very active group or parents, staff and students. We strive to help out across the school to reach as many students and staff as possible with our efforts. You may see us around the building doing things like filling the teachers lounge with treats, stocking the food pantry, running the Cane’s booth at Lunch on the Lawn, or collecting entries for the Reflections program.
Outside of the building, you might recognize us at the Mum Store, at the Clothes Closet or the Used Book Fair. The PTA works collaboratively with the various organizations, such as PEEF, to more efficiently support the needs at Pearce.
Four times a year, JJP PTA hosts meetings for the PTA members to help keep you informed of what is going on at the school. But we do so much more!
