"Together, we can accomplish more"

The PTA generally meets the first Tuesday evening of every month during the school year, unless otherwise noted. The Monocacy Calendar shows planned PTA sponsored events and meetings. We hope that you will actively participate along with PTA officers in the committees that make the many PTA sponsored activities possible.
