We need to grow our PTA! Many of the current PTA members have students in 5th grade and will be moving on after this year. The reality is that without the support of more volunteers, many of the events and programs that make our school such a wonderful and special place could fade away. We are actively looking for parents of younger students to start to get involved in the PTA.
Visit our GiveBacks website to purchase your membership. Learn more in the quick FAQ below (with more details on the Frequently Asked Questions page of the PTA website) and join our next PTA meeting that’s open to the public on Tuesday, December 9th from 7-8 pm. Contact PTA President Ron Cochran at Ronald.ThomasCochran@pm.me or 425-443-1467 with any questions. We hope to see you there!
What is the PTA?
Our mission is to help students realize their full potential by engaging and empowering families through organizing volunteer and financial support for school programs and activities that enhance the educational opportunities of Purdy’s students, staff and community.
How much money does the Purdy PTA fundraise each year and what does it support?
The PTA goal is to raise $100,000 through the PTA “Under the Sea” Auction on March 28th, 2026 to fund programming for the next two years. Every day our teachers and students use the tools and materials funded by the PTA, including for field trips, staff member grants, field day, talent show, Panther Paw rewards, and more!
