| El Oro Way has a very active PTA which partners with staff, faculty, and the community to raise money, provide support, and sponsor programs and events that benefit the overall education of our children. We strive to foster a community, where all doors are open and parents feel welcome and involved. Through funds raised from the PTA, we are able to fund field trips, music, computers, PE, assemblies, parent workshops, and more. But we also recognize the need for our kids to feel secure in their environment and to have fun while experiencing a sense of community. In that vein, the PTA sponsors many events that are intended for the entire family to participate. Whether it is our monthly movie nights, the Fall Harvest Festival, Family Fun Day, or just going to restaurant of the month, El Oro Way is a connected family.
