OUR PROGRAMS
​Langtree PTA is hard at work to create a variety of programs that engage students and their families beyond the classroom.
*Please note, some of our "normal" gatherings may not be able to happen this year due to COVID-19 Restrictions. Please visit the calendar for actual events happening this year.*

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT
Book Club
In an effort to improve our students’ reading skills, the PTA has created a fun literacy program. Projects, activities and games promote spirited book discussions and keep the students engaged with each other. Students will have a book list available on this website, that reflects the topics and authors for our meetings. Please remind your student to reference the list during circulation. Students should be able to make a connection between their book selection and the monthly theme.
​​​​
Class Trips
After class trips were removed from the Langtree school budget, the PTA felt moved to take action. Without field trips, students lose an opportunity to make connections between the classroom and the real world. The PTA covers the cost of transportation to provide teachers with an opportunity to schedule low or no cost trips for their class.

Assembly Programs
Each year the PTA coordinates "academic entertainment" for the school. Programs vary from year to year and are approved by Mrs. Gallo for content and message.
FUN-RAISING
We know that the days of selling items like candy and wrapping paper door-to-door are over. We also know that there is a limit to just how many Yankee candles 1 person can buy (or sell) in a year! That's why our PTA tries to provide event style fundraisers in their place. Over the course of the year, we'll host BINGO, student holiday shop, talent show, trunk or treat, father daughter dance and more! Not only are these great fundraisers, but opportunities to create great memories.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our PTA feels a responsibility to be positive role models for our students. To get much, you must give much. Community service helps develop an increased sense of social responsibility. We want to send all of our students out into the world with a heart for "giving back" and helping others. We honor our beloved teacher, Julie Smith, with a new service group that serves the homeless and those in need. Additionally, under the direction of PTA parents, fifth graders create and participate in service projects that have personal meaning to them as a class.
​
SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
It's important to our PTA that we build and sustain a positive climate. Throughout the year the PTA will sponsor casual gatherings, where we can come together to learn more about each other. Some events have included the Welcome Back picnic, ice skating, parent education nights, parent's night out and the end of year picnic.

The NJ/National PTA Reflections Program has inspired millions of students to reflect on the current year's theme. Each year, students in Grades Pre-K through 12 are recognized for bringing that theme to life through dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. The 2020-2021 theme is, "I Matter Because..." If your child is interested in submitting an entry this year, please click on the links below for the student entry packet and student entry application.
