Cedar Lane Elementary School PTA
Programs
We offer a range of programs throughout the school year designed to engage and inspire every Cedar Lane student. Whether your little lion loves sports, art, science, or something in between, there’s something for everyone. These experiences are made possible with the help of our dedicated volunteers and we’re always grateful for an extra hand!
Events
We host events all year long that bring our school community together to celebrate, connect, and create lasting memories. These events rely on the energy and support of volunteers like you. Whether you're helping behind the scenes or simply showing up to join the fun, we’d love to see you at our next event!
Fundraisers
We cannot provide such extensive support for the school or host so many enriching programs and fun events for our lions without having a few successful fundraisers through the year. Your ongoing support makes a big difference. Thank you!
School Support
Our PTA is dedicated to providing comprehensive school support that directly enhances our children's educational experience through strategic funding of essential resources. As parents, we prioritize ensuring that funds go toward enriching our students' learning environment and academic success, making these investments our highest funding priority.
Simply joining the PTA each year is the easiest way to support us, your kids, and our school. The cost is just $15 per individual or $20 for a two-adult household, and $10 for staff.
Remember that PTA membership is paid each year. So even if you joined last year, we still need you to join this year! ☺️
Contact us if financial assistance is needed.

Snack Pantry Donations
The snack pantry at Cedar Lane is fueled by donations. The purpose of the pantry is to provide snacks for students who forget theirs at home so teachers do not have to spend money on purchasing snacks for their classrooms. Students whose families cannot afford snacks are able to have snacks for snack time or if they are hungry as well. Snacks have to be nut free and peanut free, and also individually wrapped. Please see the attached wishlist with snack options, but anything is appreciated!
Donations can be dropped off at the front office for Blythe Shippie (Family Liaison) or shipped through the Amazon wish list.
