Vote for next year's PTA Board.

This Monday night, Northeast families elect the Executive Board that will lead the PTA in 2026–2027. This is the single most important meeting of our year — the assemblies, Field Day, the GloBall, classroom support, and so much more all run through the people you choose tomorrow.

⭐ Please join us in person

Monday, June 8 · 6–7 PM · Northeast Library

We'd strongly prefer to see you in person — it's a real chance to meet the candidates, ask questions, and cast your vote in the room. Come on out; it's just one hour and it shapes the whole year.
