Bringing Fun to Allen Elementary

After several years of dealing with Covid, the Allen Elementary PTA's Board is ready to bring back fun to the campus. Throughout the year we will host events and send communications that help to connect you to the campus. 

This year the Allen Elementary PTA will: 

• Raise money to create an outdoor musical play area in memory of our beloved former music teacher, Jennifer Lozano
• Raise money to purchase a book vending machine for positive behavior incentives.
• Bring interesting programs to the campus that supplement the classroom education.
• Host events that foster family bonding in the arts, health, science and culture.
• Give back to the community with donation drives, class angels and scholarships. 
• Foster an environment that makes all families feel included and welcome to participate in school activities. 
• Spoil our teachers and staff as much as we can with luncheons, treats, volunteer hours and tokens of appreciation. 
• Increase PTA participation through membership, events and community sponsorships.
