campus enhancements
Building on the excitement of the recently completed Outdoor Classroom, plans for the upcoming year include improving outdoor gathering areas, boosting recess materials and renovations to Camp Calm.
camp calm
Camp Calm is a special room within our school that is used to help students decompress. It is themed like a campground, and the relaxing sensory experiences are an excellent resource for students of all ages and abilities. This year we’d like to improve upon the success we’ve already seen with Camp Calm.
library legacy
This year our 5th graders’ Legacy Project will be a massive art project for the Media Center. In addition, they’ll be creating flexible seating additions for students.

classroom support
Providing support and materials for all of our teachers, support staff and other school staff, Croft PTA seeks to fill the gap between classroom needs and funding support from federal, state and local resources.
supply replenishment
Our teachers resort to purchasing materials with their own money. Croft PTA took a survey of the most-needed classroom items, and we’re working to provide those for our classrooms.
agendas & Parent Square
Communication is key to a fully functioning classroom. Croft PTA covers the cost of each student’s agenda, as well as the school’s subscription to Parent Square.
field trip scholarships
When classes choose to go on field trips, we know that some of our students will not be able to pay the field trip cost. We try to set aside Field Trip Scholarship funds specifically for those students who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend with their classmates.
