Welcome to the Van Sciver Elementary School PTA Website
Our school community truly needs the PTA's support now more than ever. The PTA aims to enhance our children's educational journey at Van Sciver, but we can't achieve this without help. We are looking for volunteers to help us run events and fund important resources like the library, class trips, dances, recess carts, playground improvements, and more. If you're interested in lending your time or skills, please check the list below and contact Stephanie Jennetta at stephaniejennetta@gmail.com or Jackie Reeves at jackiereeves12@gmail.com.
