Mission
The PTA plans, organizes, and runs numerous community events to bring together NEST+m families and raise funds for all our programs. Each month brings events such as movie nights, ice-skating parties, theater trips, and international dinners; October's Fright Night is a favorite with students of all ages, and our festive Spring Gala & Auction helps us reach our budget goals.
The PTA raises funds for a wide array of expenditures, including:
- Teacher's Assistants in Lower Grades
- Per session rates for faculty members who offer after-school enrichment programs
- Teachers College Reading and Writing Project curriculum
- Singapore Math textbooks and workbooks
- Lease fees for faculty photocopiers
- Support fees for award-winning Chess Team, Math Teams and Academic Competitions (Spelling Bee and Geo Bee)
- 4th grade Alvin Ailey Dance residency
- 5th grade city-wide Ballroom Dance competition program
- Supplies for visual arts, music and science
- Support for many of our sport teams
- Math and literacy support and enrichment for our students
- Monthly parent/principal coffees for Lower, Middle, and Upper Grade parents
- and much, much more!
