The Episcopal Day School PTA is proud to be an integral part of students' learning experience. With our parents' help, the students' education and environment are greatly enriched. The closer this relationship, the more the learning environment is strengthened. 

The PTA hosts a number of special events every year, including the annual Awesome Autumn Festival, the Candlelight Home Tour, International Day, May Day and a school book fair. Proceeds from general fund raising activities are used to enrich the curriculum and the campus itself.

Families are strongly encouraged to join the PTA which also functions as a liaison between parents, faculty and the school administration. The more involved each family becomes, the more every student benefits. 

Volunteer Opportunities                                                  Gift Wrap, Awesome Autumn, Movie Night, Candlelight Tour, Performing Arts, May Day, International Day, Penick Outreach, Teacher Appreciation, Field Day, the list goes on and on. The EDS PTA sponsors and assists with a variety of programs throughout the school year. But we couldn't do it without our wonderful parent volunteers. Your children love to see you at school and there is no greater thanks than their beautiful smiles! If you would like to get involved, please contact a PTA officer.

Teacher Appreciation
Each year the PTA sponsors a variety of opportunities to thank our teachers for all they do for Episcopal Day School. This year these include providing refreshments for their weekly staff meetings, lunches during teacher in service days, and providing each teacher with a parent liaison to help them in their classrooms or provide special gifts for them throughout the year. Available dates for lunches and meeting refreshments are available on the PTA bulletin boards located outside the main office and on the kindergarten hall.

Awesome Autumn Festival
Awesome Autumn is a PTA sponsored event for the students at Episcopal Day School.  Everyone is encouraged to come in costume and purchase tickets to play games and enjoy the evening.  There are numerous booths for games, a haunted house and a cake walk.  Everyone loves this fun fall event!
 

International Day     International Day is celebrated each spring. The PTA is the sponsor and organizer for this special day. Activities, speakers, music, art, food and entertainment all focus on one country allowing children to learn about, and experience, a new culture.  This year we will be celebrating the country of Mexico.  This is a fun and educational event for the students so mark your calendars and make plans to help out with your child's classroom booth! 

May Day
May Day is a fun family picnic night.  The third grade girls perform the traditional May Pole Dance, while the third grade boys present the flag and the pledge of allegiance.  Dinner, games and snowcones add to the evening's fun.  So sit back, relax and enjoy.... a good time is had by all!
