Thank you for joining the PTA!

We provide funding for all class field trip transportation averaging about $7,000 a year. We also pay for field trip programming depending on budget and teacher requests.

After-school programs (formerly known as PRES PRIDE) offering PRES students a variety of enrichment classes, allowing them to explore their specific interests. We run 8-week sessions in Fall and Spring, and a mini 5-week Winter session. Classes take place at PRES immediately after school and require a 4:20pm pick-up.

Our children showcase their many talents at this annual evening 

performance on stage in the PRES gym. Singing, dance routines, 

musical skits, stand-up comedy, you won't want to miss it!

A great opportunity for our children to tap their inner scientist, showcase 

their discoveries and learn as they explore all the other projects on display.

This grand event happens every other year (we alternate with Bedford Village Elementary), involves many tireless volunteers. Our largest fundraiser, featuring signature drinks, light bites, lots of fun with fellow parents and 

a live auction (think wine tastings, theme park tix and student artwork). 

Last year’s theme was Derby de Mayo!

We plan various events for kids and parents outside of school. 

Outdoor movies in the Town Park, just like a drive-in! Trunk-or-Treat as 

part of PR Halloweenfest in partnership with Friends of Pound Ridge. 

A family afternoon of bingo, pizza and prizes and an evening for parents 

to battle over coveted trivia champion bragging rights. 

Ongoing efforts such as the Garden Committee, giving students 

the chance to work together in the PRES community garden, and the 

Library Committee organizing volunteers to help shelve books. 

Reach out if you want to get involved or spearhead a new effort!
