PTA
The PTA is an organization of dedicated parents who volunteer their time and talent to make Saint Raphael School the best it can be for our children.
As you will see throughout the school year, the PTA works closely with Father Jeff, our Pastor, and Mr. Lynch, our Principal, to provide our school with as many opportunities as possible. Without the support of our many volunteers we would not be able to accomplish so much, so we thank you in advance for your help and cooperation! Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated.
Why should YOU join the PTA?
The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more advantages.
Get Connected
There is no better way to know what's happening in your school.
Discover Great Resources
The PTA offers a variety of events designed for parents as well as students.
Tap into a Network
Parenting is not easy - it helps to share ideas, concerns, and experiences with other parents and educators in the community. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind.
Watch Yourself Grow
By volunteering with your PTA, you gain valuable experiences. It's an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause - your child and all children in the school.
Speak Up
Because PTA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions. PTA can be a way for you to more efficiently suggest change in your child's school.
Witness Improvement
By getting involved at your child's school you'll be part of the solution, helping to make positive changes. PTA plays an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum -based programs, and social events - all vital to our school's success.
Be a Role Model
By becoming a PTA member, you'll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
PTA Fundraising Events
Super 50/50
Thanks to all the school families who participated, the Super 50/50 raffle was another huge success!
Scrip Program
Scrip is fundraising while you shopTM. Our program allows Saint Raphael School families to purchase scrip for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and entertainment; while earning a percentage of each dollar of scrip purchased back in revenue. What is scrip? It's "no-selling" fundraising. Scrip cards can be purchased at the parish rectory.
Campbell's Labels for Education
For more than 30 years, Labels for Education™ has been awarding free educational equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase from the Campbell family of brands. It’s a fun, easy program where students, families and members of the community work together for a common goal.
Today, over 80,000 schools and organizations are registered with Labels for Education™, benefiting more than 42 million students. Over the years, we've been able to provide more than $100 million in merchandise to America's schools! Labels can be sent in to our program coordinator Casey Ritson, c/o School Office.
