About the PTA
PTA Board & Committee Chair Contact List
At Mantua Elementary, we have a proud tradition of parental involvement and volunteerism in our children's education. The Mantua Elementary PTA supports the school and community by sponsoring a wide variety of programs to enrich the educational and social experiences of our children. Together the parents and teachers advocate for excellence in the education of our Mantua students.Join the PTA
Join the PTA Here!
Did you know that the Mantua PTA funds and supports many of the activities and events your child will benefit from as a student here? With the support of our community, the PTA has funded and contributed funds for field trips, playground equipment, computers, software, library resources, and cultural/education assemblies. Some of the programs the PTA sponsors are the Basketball program, Book Fair, Spring Carnival and the Drama Club. In addition, the PTA produces the Parent Handbook, the Yearbook, a weekly Alert News, and the Mantua School Directory. You can help in big and small ways! Your participation through volunteering and fundraising support is crucial to our goal of providing the best
programs to our students and their families.
