With your support, the PTA helps to fund enrichment programs directly benefiting students, teachers, and staff.
Below you can find a list of active programs for the school year.
The music program at Foster is supported by the Villa Musica non-profit organization. Through their partnership with the PTA and Foster Elementary, Villa Musica makes music accessible through education, performance, and community engagement.
The Arts Attack program is taught in each classroom once a month by parent volunteers. Arts Attack uses a process-oriented teaching approach with a strong emphasis on right-brain learning and development. Its goal is to not only develop art skills and techniques, but also to develop student creativity and visual problem-solving and communication abilities.
The Sage Garden program at Foster Elementary is guided by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to plant a seed, watch it grow, taste it fresh, prepare it as part of a delicious meal and compost the scraps to continue the cycle of life. In the garden and cooking classroom, all subjects come alive; from reading, math and ecology to art, history, geography, and culture.
Join us at the run club every morning at 7:30am where students, parents, and teachers get their blood pumping by running, walking, or skipping laps around the field. This is a great way to get those wiggles out and be better prepared for a day of learning at school.
Teacher & Staff Appreciation
Each year the Foster PTA provides funds for each teacher to purchase classroom supplies, hosts a welcome back lunch to kick off the school year, and recognizes their commitment to our students with personalized gifts.
In addition to funding programs for students, teachers, and staff, the Foster PTA also works hard to improve the school campus with beautification projects and upgrades.
