What the Gorrie PTA Makes Possible
At Gorrie Elementary, our PTA is more than a parent group — it's a dedicated team of families and educators working together to create an enriching, inclusive, and joy-filled school experience for all students.
Thanks to the passion and commitment of our parent and teacher community, the Gorrie PTA made a meaningful impact across campus last year. From supporting classrooms and staff to hosting beloved traditions and academic nights, every hour volunteered and every dollar donated helped create something truly special.
