Our Impact
The PTA works closely with the ARCAE Leadership Team to identify and fund school enhancements that strengthen our future leaders and foster unique exposure to the arts for each and every Student in accordance with the School’s goals.
The PTA provides funding for the School’s extensive Artist in Residency Programs offered by the Engaging Creative Minds Program, which is provided to all Students throughout the school year. Additionally, the PTA is funding a Hip Hop Dance Residency for all students for the 2025-2026 School Year.
The PTA also matches the ABC Art Grant to provide an enhanced artistic environment.
The PTA commissions and funds Artists to create masterpieces such as the expansive and captivating mural recently added in the School’s Atrium area.
The funds raised by the PTA are also used to support academic learning enhancements such as ‘Battle of the Books’ (for the 4th and 5th grades). We also support school-wide STEAM initiatives. We not only provide funding for software, supplies, and equipment, but we also fund Professional Development for Teachers and Staff and help to fund the School’s chosen STEAM Initiative, Project Lead the Way.
Finally, the PTA also hosts robust monthly Teacher Appreciation Events and fulfills Classroom Wish List requests for Teachers to give them both the appreciation and actual tools needed to create the most amazing and supportive learning environment for our students.
