The Paterson PFA is comprised of parents, grandparents, teachers, & community leaders who are invested in enriching the lives of Paterson students.

• Give: We give to our school & students by funding needed projects and purchases that are not covered through the county budget. We also assist with field trips & lunches for students with financial need. Additionally, we award the annual Paterson Alumni Scholarship to a graduating senior who is Paterson Alumni.

• Serve: We support our teachers & staff with school volunteers in the classroom & at student events. We also host several teacher & staff appreciation events throughout the year. All of our activities are either free or low-cost & completely handled by volunteers.

• Play: We build community & school spirit with fun events like the Spring Carnival, Ice Cream Social, and dances

Our budget is supported through membership dues, business partnerships, and fun fundraisers, like the Spring Carnival and candygrams. We strive to do all of our fundraising without any catalog fundraising. You can join the PFA for just $10 per family by following this link.
