Ellis PTA Committees
Cultural Diversity...Celebrating diversity in the Ellis community. This group will focus on ways to embrace the diversity of the "Ellis Family" as they help educate, accommodate, and celebrate what makes us all unique!
Health and Wellness...A great concern for all parents, this group will provide a venue for discussing the effect proper diet and exercise have on our children. The focus of this group will be to ensure these needs are being met and to provide suggestions and support to ensure the ongoing health and wellness of our children.
Montessori Advocacy...Preserving the Montessori way of educating the WHOLE child. How mandated testing and other "traditional" education methods and mandates impact Montessori principles and practices...and what we can do about it.
Teacher support...Explore and implement ideas and programs that provide support, recognition, and enrichment to serve the Teachers that are tasked with the awesome responsibility of educating our children.
Arts Enrichment...Within us all lies a poet, an artist, an actor... This group will explore the ways we can enrich the process that exposes our children to the excitement and pride that creativity brings out in every child.
Communications....Communication is key when it comes to our children. Help us open the lines of communication as we build and maintain a website, publish a PTA Newsletter, and work to compile a Parent, Student, and Staff Directory.

Help keep our new school supply closet stocked. School Beautification & Safety- New Committee for 2010-2011! Our School welcomes us with open arms every time we enter and our hope with this newly formed committee is to expand an already welcome environment with appealing outdoor spaces for students, families, teachers and staff. Involvement in this group will allow you to directly impact the quality of environment that your child is learning, eating and playing in. We will have weekend “campus clean-ups” and an overall vision of transforming many less desirable spaces into usable, workable areas where our children and families can grow and prosper.
