PURPOSE OF THE KELLER PTA

The Keller PTA is made up of parents, extended family, teachers and community partners.The PTA sponsors, plans and facilitates many programs and activities at the school every year. Without parent involvement, these activities will be lost.  As parents and family members, your donation of funds and time are the things that keep the PTA running. The PTA provides funds for:

  • Field trips
  • Assemblies
  • Rewards for good behavior
  • 5th grade graduation activities (i.e. picnic, t-shirts, yearbook, etc.)
  • and all of the things that can make a school fun!

Every October we have Trunks N Treats for Halloween and in the Spring we have a Spring Family Dance around Valentine's Day. We also provide volunteers to aid in the set up, clean up, and chaperoning of all of these activities and funds for the small needs of teachers.

We raise funds by having fall and spring fundraisers, which include the yearly wrapping paper fundraiser and spring goodies fundraiser. We also raise funds in fun ways by having family dinner nights at restaurants like Super Mex, Chik Fil A, McDonalds, and others along with clipping Box Tops for Education off of participating products. One of the most important things you can do is join the PTA during the Fall PTA Membership drive. These funds are used for insurance, and membership in the Long Beach Area Council, California, and National PTAs which provide resources for parents and schools. We would like to invite you to all of our PTA Association meetings. The PTA does not require that you put in any volunteer hours as a member but any help you can give in that regard is greatly appreciated. Please see the school calendar for all meetings, fundraiser dates and events.

Below is a list of all PTA Board Members. If you are interested in helping or have any questions, please contact any one of us through the office and leave a message.
