What We Do

One of the things we’re most proud of is the impact we make both within our school and beyond it. From supporting classrooms and celebrating staff to creating memorable experiences for students and giving back to neighboring schools, our PTA works year-round to make a difference.

The programs and initiatives below highlight just some of the ways we supported Westchase Elementary during the 2026–2027 school year.

Your support through membership, volunteering, donations, and event participation helps make all of this possible. Thank you for being part of our Westchase community and helping us make a difference for every child, every family, and every Wizard.
