PAT's Partnership with Elm

The group sponsors dances and other social activities for students. For example, PAT plans, organizes and sponsors the 8th-grade dinner dance and the 8th-grade graduation breakfast.

PAT members also provide assistance at other school events and raise money to help support programs that benefit Elm students.

In addition, the group forms a key communicators network at Elm, providing a space where parents and the school administration can engage in constructive dialogue on issues of concern.

In short, PAT is a valuable partner with the school.
