Keep an eye out for issues of the PTA Post starting in late August (you can subscribe directly on the PTA website here:   https://scespta.membershiptoolkit.com/user_subscriptions). When we begin our membership drive for 2021-2022 PTA Members, please join!  

Our community grows stronger by the year, and that happens thanks to each of you.  

Your 2020-2021 PTA Board,  

Rick, Akbar, Lisa, Ryan, Tony, Laura, Deborah, Jennifer, and Brenna
