Hellen Caro Elementary PTA

A big thank you to The Wetter Family Foundation for making a very generous donation to the PTA! Donations like this help us sponsor programs like field trips, classroom grants, and family nights. We couldn't do what we do without the support of our Hellen Caro families and community members.

We need volunteers to help with our school dance! There are several different time shifts available, starting at noon on Friday for decorations, helping to serve pizza, up until the very end for cleanup crew. Whether you can help for 30 minutes or stay for the whole thing, we appreciate it! Questions? Send us a message or email Maliha at [email protected]
