PTA Committees
Your Ellis PTA is committed to providing outstanding resources and opportunities to enhance the educational experience of every Ellis child.  One way we have accomplished this is by creating committees that focus on specific areas where our resources - and your input - can be of added value.

Ellis PTA Committees

Cultural Diversity...Celebrating diversity in the Ellis community.  This group will focus on ways to embrace the diversity of the "Ellis Family" as they help educate, accommodate, and celebrate what makes us all unique!

Health and Wellness...A great concern for all parents, this group will provide a venue for discussing the effect proper diet and exercise have on our children.  The focus of this group will be to ensure these needs are being met and to provide suggestions and support to ensure the ongoing health and wellness of our children.

Montessori Advocacy...Preserving the Montessori way of educating the WHOLE child.  How mandated testing and other "traditional" education methods and mandates impact Montessori principles and practices...and what we can do about it.

Teacher support
...Explore and implement ideas and programs that provide support, recognition, and enrichment to serve the Teachers that are tasked with the awesome responsibility of educating our children.

Arts Enrichment...Within us all lies a poet, an artist, an actor...  This group will explore the ways we can enrich the process that exposes our children to the excitement and pride that creativity brings out in every child.

Music Enrichment...Join us as we explore the ways we can introduce the joy of music to every Ellis child.  This group will discuss how we can enrich existing programs, foster new programs, and what can be done to advance the exposure our children have to music.

Communications....Communication is key when it comes to our children.  Help us open the lines of communication as we build and maintain a website, publish a PTA Newsletter, and work to compile a Parent, Student, and Staff Directory.

Science Enrichment...Focused on supporting science, both in the classroom and outside this group will focus on advancing the exposure to all things science.
