Arrowhead Elementary is often referred to as a small school with a big heart. Our PTA promotes the welfare of all students by providing staff support, fostering teacher, parent, and community cooperation, and enriching student learning. Some of the amazing programs our PTA has funded include purchasing African drums for the music department, providing over $7000 in classroom funds annually, and making sure those that need scholarships have them. PTA is the largest and oldest child advocacy organization in the country. Our voice can be heard locally, regionally, and nationally supporting parent involvement and working on behalf of all children and families. We hope all families take pride in our kids and community and show their support through their PTA membership to help make our voice even stronger.
