2 Improve the school. Last year, the support of Highland Lakes Elementary families helped the PTA provide over $20,000 worth of support to the school.
3 Get connected. At PTA meetings, you’ll hear all about important school and student issues from Principal Baker, teachers as well as PTA Officers.
4 Make friends.The PTA is a diverse group of parents unified by strong interest in enriching their child’s education. We make friends!

6 Be heard. The PTA is a great forum for exchanging ideas to improve our school.
7 It’s fun! You’ll be a big hit with the kids when you are the PTA representative handing out goodies.
8 Be a role model. You’ll show your child the value (and fun) of giving back to the community at events like the FALL festival & Spring Fling.
