Teller PTA
The Teller PTA is a strong and growing group of parents and teachers that are committed to continuing Teller's Excellence. We ask our families to contribute their Time, Talent, or Treasure to push Teller to ever higher academic and extracurricular heights.
But we are not all fund raising and no fun. Be it book fairs, Halloween parties, or Tellerpalooza, we are always involved in what makes Teller a fun and great place for not just the children but the children's families as well!
Remember, the Teller PTA meeting is in the school library every third Thursday of the month at 6 PM during the school year. Pizza is served at 5:45 in the cafeteria and child care is provided.
Please send general requests and questions for the PTA to: Teller_PTA-owner@yahoogroups.com
