What Does the PTA Do?
What Does the PTA Do?
The Cottage Lake Elementary PTA is a 501(c)3 non-profit made up of parents, teachers, and community members working working to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities. While we’re an independent organization, we work closely alongside the school to support students, families, and staff.
The PTA helps fill funding gaps to make sure our kids have what they need—and goes beyond that to provide the ‘extras’ that make school special, from enrichment programs to community events.
