Let's SLIME our Principal! Help us reach our membership goal by Friday, September 1st and we will SLIME Principal Huechteman during our first Spirit Assembly in October. If we go BEYOND our goal, then we will SLIME Coach Smith too! 

Please join today so we can reach our goal! Joining the PTA doesn't require volunteering or any time commitment. Simply joining and paying that membership fee makes a lasting impact. Your money goes to work and helps support your student throughout the year, from field trips to in-school programs--ALL of that has been sponsored or organized by the PTA and we need the membership fees to fund all the fun! 

Parent Membership is a one-time $12 for the YEAR

Student Membership is a one-time $8 for the YEAR

If you want to go above and beyond... join the grandparents, aunts or uncles, even the neighbor! Go Colts!
