PTA is for everyone! Joining the PTA at your child's school means that you're supporting the work the PTA does at that school (book fairs, staff appreciation, grants for large projects, treats, concessions, etc!). You will get an email when there is a general meeting (3x a year) and maybe an email or 2 asking if you'd like to volunteer your time for a specific event. Calls for volunteers go out on our Facebook page as well. There is zero commitment to volunteer (although we love and thank our volunteers!) or donate to any fundraiser. Please show your support and join us today!
We have several open positions including Fundraising for the 2023-24 school year. Please email stmspresident1@tmstpta.net for more information.
Maple View Middle School and Summit Trail Middle School have a joint PTA that serves both schools, known as the Middle Schools of Tahoma PTA.
Mission Statement:
The Middle Schools of Tahoma PTA is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes including promoting the welfare of children and youth in home, school and community, to promote family and community engagement with our schools, to be a bridge between educators and the community so that every child may have the highest advantages in physical, mental and social education and to advocate and secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.
We also fulfill the Washington State PTA's mission statement:
Our mission is for PTA to be:
A powerful voice for children,
A relevant resource for families, schools and communities, and
A strong advocate for the well-being and education of all children.
And National PTA's mission statement:
PTA's mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
