PTA

Calvin Smith PTA is committed to helping our community. Join us on April 22, 2022 to make our area a better place as we participate in an Earth Day clean-up event. Just like each child is important, so is our planet Earth! Join us as we clean-up the sidewalks leading to Calvin Smith, help us clean-up the playground and surrounding fields, and take time as a family to clean-up your neighborhood. Remember, safety first! Never pick up broken glass, nails, needles, or other sharp objects. Please wear protective gloves and throw trash away in a garbage can. Please work with an adult, stay on the sidewalk, and avoid danger.

Calvin Smith PTA’s Earth Day Clean-up is a service project to honor 125 years of PTA with a PTA Day of Service.

Send us a photo of your clean up efforts at calvinsmithpta@gmail.com!
