Thank you to all the amazing parent volunteers who continue to share so much of your time and energy to help make things happen at Kester! It truly takes a village!
If you haven't already, please reach out!
Are you new to the school and looking for ways to get involved? Or a long-time parent unsure of how the Kester community fits together? If you have questions about volunteering for the school or how the various parent-supported enrichment programs benefit your student, you can find out more by joining the Kester Avenue Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA is always looking for parents to assist with its various fundraisers and activities on campus. Parents help to make Kester an extraordinary place to learn, and we welcome your participation in whatever way works for your family. For more information, contact our PTA at KesterAvePTA@gmail.com.
The PTA organizes many fundraisers throughout the year to provide enrichment opportunities for our students. These fun events are designed to be community builders and are a great way to feel a part of the Kester community. If every Kester family participated in at least one or two fundraisers each year, we could easily meet our fundraising goals. Some current and past events are:
The Kester Krew is a dedicated group of parents who volunteer their time to beautify our campus, help the PTA with set-up of its events and assist teachers, staff and administration with tasks. To join Kester Krew, email Jessica Raymondjack at jess.raymondjack@gmail.com.
The Kester Avenue Magnet Parents Association is the booster club for Kester Magnet Elementary, conducting community events and fundraisers to provide additional enrichment for the magnet school. Visit kestermagnetparents.org to sign up for the KAMPA newsletter and learn more about KAMPA.
Parent volunteers are always welcome at Kester. Various opportunities to help out both on and off campus are available. Please click here for the Parent Volunteer Guidebook in English and here for the Guidebook in Spanish.
