Founder's Day

Every year at the last PTA association meeting, we hounor the long and impressive history of PTA and it's legacy of volunteerism.  We also take this time to honor special SMS PTA volunteers of today with Honorary Service Awards for their contributions to our kids.

Environmental Stewardship

We offer funding and support for this program, geared toward recycling and other means of making our campus earth-friendly.

Hospitality

PTA loves to welcome and thank parents and volunteers with light refreshments at gatherings, including PTA meetings and at various volunteer occasions.

Jeopardy Tournament

PTA helps fund this fun and academic tournament where the great Stanford student minds compete.

Literacy/Book Fair

PTA supports the love of reading and promotes literacy events such as book fairs.

Parent Education

PTA strives to provide our parents with valuable presentations on parenting, tween/teen health issues, safety, education, and more. 

Reflections

PTA Reflections, National PTA's premiere arts program for preschool through grade 12 students, is ready to roll out a new year of creativity with its theme for the 2013-2014 school year:  Believe, Dream, Inspire.

Special Projects

PTA supports, funds, or provides volunteers for several special projects at Stanford.  Most recently, we have provided funds for the Teacher Classroom Grants, Library, Student Council, Robotics Club, and Jazz Band.

TCB Days

PTA volunteers help with the "Taking Care of Business" Days before the school year starts.  They assist in guiding parents, issuing textbooks, selling uniforms, and school pictures/ID cards.

Teacher Appreciation/Teacher Breakfast and Luncheon

We do not take for granted the role that our teachers and staff play in the lives of our children, so PTA coordinates and funds a welcome back breakfast and luncheon in September. Then, in the spring we host a week of treats and a luncheon as a way of saying "thank you."

Teacher of the Year

As part of a program set forth by Long Beach Council PTA, we host a contest for Stanford's Teacher of the Year. Students nominate their favorite teachers by writing an essay which meets specified criteria. The "winner" is also forwarded to the Long Beach Council PTA level, where the they have a second opportunity to be chosen as the LBC PTA Teacher of the Year.

WEB Program

PTA funded the initial training and costs to implement this wonderful, "Where Everyone Belongs," anti-bullying program which utilizes student peers to model good behavior and monitors behavior.
