Mission Statement: The purpose of the Salem Elementary PTA is to create an environment that supports learning, diversity, community and family. Our goal is to provide the support needed to create a positive, well-rounded educational institution as well as a caring and loving environment for growth.

Raise money for short term and long term school needs.
Partner to create a long term, strategic plan for the school.

Reach out to the community and identify ways in which we can get them more involved in the school through donations, sponsorships, volunteering.
Create consistent and reliable communication between the PTA and its members
