Florence A. Smith School No.2 PTA
2745 Terrell Avenue
Oceanside , NY 11572
 

The Florence A. Smith School #2 PTA, has a diverse and culturally rich membership that brings children and adults together through education and entertainment in the most meaningful ways. Our parents are moved by the spirit of volunteerism and make all of our events tremendously successful.

We begin our school year with a traditional Back to School Barbeque that is attended by over 600 people of all ages. Our Arts in Education programs delight the children while educating them. Among the programs scheduled for this year are the National Circus Project, Journey Into American Indian Territory, and Barry Goldberg, the cartoonist of the Rugrats. We have had Artists in Residence, who, with the helping hands of every child in the school, made several beautiful murals which hang in our hallways. Our PARP (People as Reading Partners) theme last year was "Books Across America - United We Read" and it brought together children, parents and members of the community for many enriching reading activities. This year's "Survivor - Reading Is a Reality" theme will prove to be even better. It will incorporate an Author-Illustrator Night where we will be host to nearly twenty writers and artists who will share their work and experiences. Other PTA events include School Spirit Week, Family Fun Day, March Madness, Staff Recognition Luncheon, and, of course, all the fundraising events, such as plant sales, wrapping paper and cookie dough, which enable us to continue all the elevating programs we and our children enjoy.

These are just some of the activities that the PTA brings to School #2. It is very important to keep a line of communication open to the parents and community through different programs and our PTA is dedicated to doing just that. Please contact us with your ideas, suggestions, concerns and/or just to chat.
