About the Galway Lions PTA
The Galway Lions PTA is made up of parents, teachers and staff who work together to enhance the educational experience for the students at Galway Elementary School. Our mission is to promote collaboration, engagement and support to ensure the best possible educational journey for our students!
We advocate for our Galway students to ensure they have the resources and support they need to thrive.
We organize events and activities that bring families and the school community together, fostering strong relationships.
We fundraise for educational programs and school resources needed to ensure a great learning experience for our students.
Our strategic priorities for this School Year
What the Galway Lions PTA Accomplished in 2025-2026!
