About The McKenzie PTA
The McKenzie PTA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit, which must adhere to standards of affiliation and strict IRS requirements. The main function of any PTA organization is to collect extra resources from the community to support various educational programs, extracurricular activities, and infrastructure improvements that are not covered in the school’s budget.
At McKenzie, these yearly opportunities include the following for your children:
Reimbursing teachers for classroom supplies (up to only $200!)
Garden upkeep and programming
Room Parent expenses
Open Gym Nights
Teacher Appreciation activities and staff luncheons
Field Day
4th grade farewell activities
3rd grade green team
Student Leadership Council expenses
· … and lots more!
These programs would not exist without PTA fundraising activities such as Sign-Up Parties and the Variety Show.

Some key details:
Each year, the McKenzie PTA invests more than $53,000 in school programs and nearly $38,000 in teacher support, enriching the experience for every student.
Family-supported programs like iGNITE fund classroom enrichment and field trips, while PTA fundraising through events like the Variety Show, Read-a-Thon, and Parent Sign Up Parties helps support school traditions, student activities, and teacher grants.
Community events like Fall Frenzy and the Parent Party bring McKenzie families together and strengthen our school community.
Thank you for your continued generosity in support of your McKenzie PTA.
