Winterhaven PTSA

The Winterhaven PTSA is a parent, teacher, and student organization designed to offer support, create community-building opportunities, and fundraise to provide our teachers and students with academically enriching experiences. Winterhaven has an amazing community and the PTSA exists to support and elevate this as much as we can. 

Here are ways you can get involved:

1 - Join the PTSA

The PTSA has many opportunities for parents to get involved. We encourage you to become a PTSA member to have a say in funding decisions and PTSA programs for the year. You can purchase your membership online at PTA Membership. Any parent with an active PTA membership is allowed to vote at the Winterhaven Community meetings. You will have a voice in budget decisions and other important meeting topics. Also, all parents are welcome to join us for Community Meetings, which are listed on our calendar link.

2 - Connect

3 - Donate

A financial donation is the best and easiest way to support Winterhaven and the PTSA. This fully tax-deductable investment will enable us to consistently fund essential programs throughout the academic year. The Winterhaven PTSA provides scholarships for after-school programs, funding for: tutoring, equipment, middle school dances, field trips, and other classroom needs. We host community events such as the Fall Frolic and Spring Carnival. Here are ways to donate:

• Annual Pledge Drive: Each year the PTSA encourages the Winterhaven community to come together and support our PTSA Pledge Drive. Our goal is to raise the $70,000.00 needed to fund the resources that will improve the educational experience for every student in our school. To make this vision a reality, we ask each family to donate $200.00 per student. This donation can be made via Konstella, where a new link is provided each year.https://www.konstella.com/open/donations/66b6bfd71b5c548811f51f5a
