The Smith PTA gives a voice to our membership through ADVOCACY, including on Capitol Hill in Sacramento. We strive to have open COMMUNICATION between members of our community and Smith Elementary, such as raising awareness about what is happening at school and continually improving on the norm. Our goal is to create OPPORTUNITIES for the kiddos at Smith and improve their lives by giving back to the school and funding various programs.
The fact is that the Huntington Beach City School District is the lowest funded district in Orange County and one of the lowest funded districts in the state. The Smith PTA works tirelessly to ensure that this is not felt by the members of our community.
Some highlights of what we achieved last year, all thanks to you, include sponsoring onsite programs (~$8K) and virtual reading/math programs (~$13K).
