What is the SVPTA?
Please visit the Silva Valley Elementary School PTA Website!
The SVPTA is a group of dedicated parent volunteers who work tirelessly to help our students and school thrive. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and spearhead efforts to directly and wholly fund enrichment programs, assemblies, school activities/events, and field trip scholarships. We provide enrichment monies to teachers and staff members for needed supplementary classroom materials, furniture, experiences and programs. We also fund ongoing school facilities improvements/upgrades and campus beautification projects. Additionally, our PTA hosts a variety of teacher appreciation events throughout the year, including snacks/luncheons and Teacher Appreciation Week.
Our ability to provide support and resources for these “extras” in our children's educational experience would not otherwise happen, and is dependent on donations (monetary and volunteer hours) and on our fundraising success.
