Make your school a better place:
Join the Voorheesville PTA!

The Voorheesville Parent Teacher Association is committed to enhancing educational opportunities for the students of our school district. Through fund-raisers, we provide scholarships for students, sponsor extracurricular activities and clubs, and supply equipment and other materials not covered by the VCSD annual budget.

The PTA is open to parents and is active at all three of Voorheesville's schools. From September to March, the PTA is holding a membership drive. Parents, teachers and community residents are encouraged to join.

Membership costs $5, and members have voting rights and "admission" to all 2008-09 school year meetings. New members are welcome at any time during the year. For information, contact Jennifer Hampston.
