Garfield Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) welcomes you! 
Our PTA meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. A brief board meeting will be held from 6:00 - 6:30 PM, with our community meeting following from 6:30 to 8:00 PM each month (beginning in October 2024). The board and membership meetings are open to members and non-members. We hope you stop by! 

The PTA fundraises to support Garfield Elementary. Funds raised in previous years have supported the purchase and installation of the climbing wall in the gym, the purchase of audio-visual equipment, performing arts assemblies, books for the library collection, and supply funds for teachers. The main fundraisers this year will be the Cougar Mountain Cookie Dough sales this fall, and Dance-a-thon in the spring. We also raise funds through Amazon Smiles, Fred Meyer Rewards, and the Combined Fund Drive. 

The PTA needs volunteers. Our best events happen when all our parents/guardians come together to volunteer. Members and non-members alike may volunteer in a way that works for them: daytime or evening, recurring or sporadically.  Cheetahs appreciate their volunteers!
