Bottle Drop: We have made $500 from bottle drop since September! Let's raise another $500, grab blue bags from Eva in the office. Share them with friends and family, take them to work and put them in the brake room! Such an easy way to make money for Buckingham!

You do NOT need to be a paying member of the PTA to come to meetings. The PTA’s main purpose is to support our wonderful teachers and administration, which in turn creates a positive and caring atmosphere in our school that all of our children benefit from.
Joining the Buckingham PTA also helps you get to know the teachers and staff better, enables social connections among other Buckingham families, and is fun and rewarding.
