Programs & Events

The PTA at Little Cedars Elementary provides a number of programs and events for our students and families throughout the year. We would not be successful without the tremendous support of our PTA members and volunteers!! We have a variety of volunteer opportunities and levels of involvement, depending on the time you’d like to offer.
    
    -   Please contact Kari Winckler for more information on any of these opportunities.
