About Mata PTA

Mata PTA is a nonprofit organization powered by parents, teachers, and community members who care deeply about our school. Together, we work to enrich the educational experience of every Mata Montessori student and strengthen the sense of community that makes our school so special.

Throughout the year, we:

📣 Advocate for our students and public education
🎓 Raise funds to support classroom resources, enrichment programs, and campus needs
🎉 Host fun, meaningful events that bring families together
🍎 Support teachers and staff with appreciation and hospitality
📬 Keep families informed through our website, emails, and social media

From community coffees and family festivals to teacher appreciation, student programs, and our annual auction, everything we do is rooted in one goal: supporting our children and helping Mata thrive.

We invite you to get involved — there’s a place for everyone at Mata PTA. 💛
