Troy's PTA meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 9am in the Troy Multipurpose Room. We hope you'll join us as we discuss the current month's events and plan for upcoming PTA programs. If you are not a member of PTA, I encourage you to join the Troy PTA. It is a wonderful way to get involved at Troy with your child, and our programs add to the social and educational enrichment of all students.
