Meadow Wood Elementary PTA ("MWE PTA") invites you to support our school, staff and students by giving financially through the BIG FORM. MWE PTA bridges the gap between limited state funding and the high-level education every child deserves, spending $516k annually to support ~680 children. While the district provides just $65 per student, MWE PTA spends an additional $759 per child to fund programs, teacher salaries, and enrichment activities—far beyond the school’s allocated $45k annual budget.
