ZERO COMMITMENT

Baldwin Elementary PTA Fall Membership Drive! 

Our PTA plays a vital role in enhancing the educational experience at Baldwin. As a 501(c)(3) charity, we fund numerous essential resources that directly benefit our students and teachers.

 Here’s how you can make an impact:


 Each child whose parent joins/renews will get to add a leaf to our tree in the foyer.

 The class with the most members in each grade will win a popcorn party!

 Teachers of the winning class will be entered into a raffle to win a special prize.


Volunteering isn't required with membership, but we welcome any time or talents you can share.

Upcoming PTA Meeting Dates

Save the dates for our upcoming PTA meetings!

We alternate PTA meetings between AM/PM and children are welcome any time. In an effort to reduce "this could have been an email meetings", we only meet when required by our bylaws plus one - September, January and April plus May. January and May are combined with STEAM Night and Senior Scholarship Night, respectively.
