About

Current President: Patti Simons

Welcome to the James Weldon Johnson PTSA, a multi-award winning organization with a tradition of excellence and service. We invite you to join us and become part this legacy. Membership is only $5/year. PTSA is open to all families, students, faculty, administrators and staff. Our goal is 100% membership. Help us grow!

Click here for announcements or on the News link at the top or on our ANNOUNCEMENTS link on the right to see the latest school and PTSA news!

Don’t forget to use our BOOKSTORE and SUMMER READING links on the right for summer reading information. The bookstore also has links for fun reading as well as required summer info for Stanton and Paxon high schools. We are partnered with Amazon and if you use our bookstore link to shop for books a portion of your purchases is donated to us. The link features books recommended by our language arts department and is a great way to help your student(s) meet their reading goals for the year.

HELP SUPPORT OUR NO FUNDRAISING POLICY – MAKE A TAX FREE DONATION TODAY!

Our PTSA has an annual goal of NO FUNDRAISERS and hasn’t had to do traditional fundraising in years! Instead, we hold a membership drive each fall at the beginning of the school year and invite all parents and teachers to join. In addition to the $5 membership fee, we respectfully ask each member to make an additional donation. If the donations meet our budget NO FUNDRAISING is necessary. Please help us - one idea is to make a donation in the amount your family would expect to spend on fundraising.

JWJ PTSA is also looking for corporate donors and sponsors for some of our larger activities.

So where do the donations go? The generosity of our PTSA members allows us to sponsor many activities and programs throughout the year. With the money we collect we are able to fund programs like these:

  • “A Sweet Return”
  • Care & Compassion
  • Career Day
  • Faculty & Staff Appreciation
  • High School Info. Night
  • History Fair
  • Honor Roll Luncheons
  • Magnet Tours
  • Readers Beach
  • Red Ribbon Week
  • Renaissance Fair
  • Reflections
  • Science Fair
  • Special Projects
  • Student Directory
  • Vision Screening
