Annual Giving Campaign & PTA Membership – Many PD families have already participated in our annual giving campaign – thank you to all those that have contributed! There is still time for us to reach our goal and continue to provide our kids with amazing problems. Please give what you can. All amounts are appreciated. The Pierce Downer PTA is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Click here to view the annual giving flyer.
We encourage everyone to become an active member of our PTA! By joining, you’ll have voting rights on decisions that affect our school.
- A Single PTA Membership costs $15 and gives you one login for our Directory Spot App.
