Welcome!
This is the place to visit
to find information about the Putnam Valley PTSA and their many activities.
If you are not already a member of one of our PTSA groups, we hope you
will join. If you are not already involved in our schools, we invite you
to become involved. The Putnam Valley High School PTSA (Parent Teacher
Student Association) is an active nonprofit organization of dedicated
parents, teachers and students that offers many programs for the Putnam
Valley High School. The PTSA works hard all year long to raise funds for
programs such as Arts In Education, Books for Classroom Libraries, Scholarships,
and much more! Children are our future and their education is a joint
responsibility among parents, the schools, and our community as a whole. |
