Making every child’s potential a reality
PTA’s mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. At Columbine Elementary, we bring this mission to life by strengthening the bonds between families, teachers, and staff, and enriching our children’s school experience every day.
What we do
We support our school community through:
- Organizing volunteers to assist with classroom projects and school-wide initiatives
- Hosting community events that bring families together and celebrate our Columbine spirit
- Raising funds to provide classroom grants and enhance extra-curricular activities
- Advocating for all children and empowering families to be active partners in education
- Building connections between home and school so parents and teachers can work together for every child’s success
Our values
Collaboration, commitment, diversity, respect, and accountability are core values of the Parent Teacher Association. These values guide everything we do at Columbine PTA as we work together to ensure every child has the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
Get involved
Everyone is welcome! Membership in the Columbine PTA is open to all parents, guardians, teachers, staff, and community members who care about our school. Whether you can volunteer weekly or attend just one event a year, your involvement makes a difference in a child’s life.
