What does the Matthew PTA do?

The PTA connects local government, parents, teachers, and students together. Each year several members are elected to serve on the 
executive board. Members can volunteer to head up or participate 
in committees.  The PTA strives to provide needed items for students 
and Matthew Thornton through volunteering and fund raising activities. 
It is made up of volunteers, administrators, teachers, parents and the Londonderry School Board. We meet once a month to organize events and programs.
