You've heard of PTOs and PTAs. At Northwestern Elementary, we go by P.I.E. -- Partners In Education. Our mission is to support our school, children, and community by volunteering at school functions, offering administrative support, and organizing fundraisers to provide additional tools and activities to our school.

P.I.E. members have the benefit of working hand-in-hand with teachers, school staff and other parents with similar interests. What a wonderful way to give back to our community and become better acquainted with the people your child(ren) spend time with every day! P.I.E. members often form new friendships, gain valuable insight into our school, and have a whole lot of fun!

Who Can Become a P.I.E. Member?

Members include any parent, guardian or community member interested in supporting Northwestern Elementary School and its programs. Although most of our activities are volunteer-based, there's plenty of enjoyment to be experienced by spending time at the school and watching our kids in action.

How Can I Get Involved with P.I.E.?

There are many opportunities for you to become involved; no matter what you interests or talents are, we have a chance for you to volunteer and make a difference. Volunteer as often as your schedule allows!
