Marguerita PTA Receives a $5,000 Grant

A HUGE thanks to our Grants Committee!  Marguerita PTA received the National PTA COVID-19 Community Relief grant, Sponsored by TikTok, NortonLifeLock and Huntington Ingalls Industries for $5,000!  This money will be used for online enrichment opportunities such as art, music, and sports.

We sent out a survey asking what you'd like to see PTA do and 60% of you want to see additional learning activities or opportunities for student enrichment outside of standard class curriculum.  Share your ideas with us by leaving a comment or emailing us at info@margueritapta.org.

Congrats Huskies!
