Our Community Relies on Your Involvement!

The EMS PTA’s core mission is to unlock every child’s potential by fostering strong partnerships between families, our school, and the broader community. We advocate for the well-being and education of all children by building meaningful, collaborative relationships with teachers, school administrators, and families.

The EMS PTA is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization, and our work is only possible because of the time and talents of our community. Whatever your skills or interests, there are many ways to get involved and make a positive impact. Our goal is to connect as many engaged parents and caregivers as possible to the school in whatever ways they are able to participate.

We are excited to share the proposed slate of candidates for the EMS PTA Executive Board for the 2026–27 school year. These individuals have generously stepped forward to support our school community, and we are grateful for their time, energy, and commitment to our students.

A vote to approve the proposed slate will take place at our General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, May 20 at 9am.
