Welcome to the Ashlawn PTA!
Giving time to help at your children’s school is a wonderful gift for your child(ren). Your gift also sets a great example of a generous, giving spirit for all children. Studies suggest that when parents are involved in students’ education and school activities, those students generally have higher grades and test scores, consistent homework completion, higher attendance records, all leading to successful results later in life. Overall, volunteering has a positive effect on your child, yourself and your school community. Please let us know how you would like to be involved at Ashlawn!
With Ashlawn Pride,
Frances Lee, Principal
2021-2022 PTA Officers and Committee Chairs:
