PTA Thank You Party for ALL MEMBERS!

The PTA Board would like to invite all members of the PRES PTA to join us at the end-of-year Thank You Party at Conant Hall on June 18th at 7pm.  This is a casual get together where the Board is able to thank the Committee Chairs and all of the volunteers who helped at all of our events and activities this year! We hope to see you there!
Courtyard Dedication

We are so grateful to the Pound Ridge Car Show, The Market at Pound Ridge Square, the Pound Ridge PBA, Billy Fortin and Mike Armistead for their generous donation to the PRES PTA. It was thanks to this donation that we were able to renovate the interior courtyard at PRES, which will be used as an outdoor learning space for teachers and their classes.  

We are also very grateful to The Pound Ridge Partnership, who has chosen the PRES courtyard as one of their beautification projects for PRIDE Day this weekend. 

We hope that PRES students and their families can join us for a short ceremony dedicating our new courtyard after school on Wednesday, June 19th.
