The Ashcroft School is a great school! We enjoy a joyful diversity that allows our children to be friends with kids and families from Provo and around the world, while enjoying an atmosphere where educational excellence, values and fun exist. Our principal, senior management team, teachers and staff do outstanding work every day to make the Ashcroft School a wonderful place to learn. Another key element to our school excellence is the PTA.

The PTA is a forum for parents and teachers to work together to support the Ashcroft school. Whether you wish to get to know fellow parents, have a question about a daily policies/procedures, want to get involved—anything—the monthly PTA meeting (the first Wednesday of the month) is the place to be to know what’s happening at school and/or how you can get involved.

The PTA is both a fundraising group, and a “fun” raising group! We organize events throughout the year to raise money to supplement the school’s budget, allowing us to purchase the little (and big) “extras” which enhance our school environment.

Here are a few PTA projects that enhance the quality of the Ashcroft School:

Library Renovation and Air Conditioning
Hot Lunch Program
School Calendar and Yearbook
Contributions for New Playground Equipment and Sports Equipment Computer Lab and Updated Computers for Every Classroom
Contributions to New Stage and School Stage Sound System Benches for School New Storage Facilities And more!

In addition to school improvements, The PTA hosts numerous fundraising and just-for-fun events during the school year. These include:

The PTA Roundup: A school family BBQ held at the beginning of the first term. Character Day and the Trick-or-Treat Trail: PTA gives Halloween goody bags to each child and coordinates a series of school family houses where kids can trick-or-treat.
Thanksgiving Celebration: A traditional Thanksgiving luncheon is provided to all children and teachers in celebration of both the Canadian and American Thanksgivings.
Christmas Fair: A fun day with many games, goodies, holiday crafts, and a visit with Santa!
Red and White Ball: A Valentine’s Day dance held for the children--wonderful Ashcroft School mid-winter tradition.
Spring Fling and Talent Auction: This is an evening dinner function with entertainment and a silent auction PACKED with great things to bid on – our biggest fund raising event!
Teacher Appreciation Week
And more!

Together, the Ashcroft School Parents and Teachers help to make our school extraordinary!
