PTA Announcements

The PTA is excited to kick off our annual Direct Donation Campaign! Our goal is to raise $7,000 in Direct Donations by Thanksgiving. Your donation helps to directly fund community-building events, educational supports in the classroom, student enrichment opportunities, and staff assistance and hospitality. Also, the students receive rewards as we meet each milestone. The first reward will be schoolwide EXTRA RECESS when we reach the $2,000 mark! Any amount is appreciated, so please DONATE today!

Northfield Elementary PTA has several sponsorship levels that allow businesses to invest in our school’s educational programs and activities that enrich the lives & education of our students. Our PTA directly supports community-building events, educational support in the classroom, student enrichment opportunities, staff support, hospitality, and extracurricular events. 

Please consider volunteering for the various positions listed. These opportunities only exist if we get the helping hands needed to pull them off. Please direct interest or questions to Meghan Leimenstoll at president@northfieldpta.org. Thanks!
