MEMBERSHIP and yearbook sales coming in august

 

You'll have the opportunity to purchase a PTA membership and support the work of our PTA for the 2026 - 2027 school year soon!

 

Becoming a member does not obligate you to attend meetings or volunteer (although, we’d love to have you!). Your support allows us to provide our students, staff and families with a variety of fun and educational opportunities here at Trailwood!

 

You are also able to purchase your child’s yearbook and pay their yearly activity fee at this time. Yearbooks are a fantastic way for kids to reminisce on all the fun they had at Trailwood Elementary and will be delivered at the end of the year.

    

dining partners

 

Dining partner events are amazing ways to support Trailwood while also enjoying some delicious food and supporting our community partners.

 

Do you know of a business that would be interested in learning more about the dining partners program for the upcoming school year? Please reach out to Sarah McGinnity, if so!

 

And, be sure to check out the information below for details on other great ways to give back!

 

     

Chair a committee

 

 

 

We still have a few committees in need of chairs for the 2026-2027 school year!

 

Please reach out to Sarah McGinnity if you have additional questions or are interested in being a volunteer.

           

    become an mvp and make a difference

 

 

We hope you'll consider becoming an MVP next school year! This designation is given to adult volunteers in SMSD who would like the opportunity to work with/supervise kids on their own. These relationships are positively powerful for the child (and the adult), and we can always use people to serve in this role!

 

For more information on the MVP program and alternative training dates, please use the link below. Please contact social worker Brenna Sandefur-Farrar if you have any additional questions.

 

  

2026 - 2027 PTA MEETINGs

  

While our PTA meetings for the 2025 - 2026 school year have ended, we hope you'll consider joining us for some of our monthly meetings next school year! Our monthly meetings are great opportunities to get to know each other and find out more about our fabulous community! Everyone is invited to attend. Children are always welcome!

 

Be on the lookout for a schedule of meetings coming at the beginning of the school year!

 

We hope to see you there!
