We the PTA at John Sinnott unite to keep our student and teacher programs strong for our school community!
Year after year parent volunteers come together to keep our organization active as we work to provide major resources for our school which are not provided for by district funds. This involves further developing programs that help our students achieve their potential and sustaining substantial support for our dedicated teachers and school staff.
A first opportunity to show support is to become a member and donate.
Secondly, and most importantly, we invite and welcome creative participation from the parent community this school year! Let us know if you can share your skills, gifts, and talents virtually with our students and families. The time we give really does make a difference in the lives of all our children!
