About your PTA
We make more possible at Central.
The Central Parent Teacher Association provides support and resources for our entire school community. Together, we fund cultural activities, community-building events and unique learning opportunities for students, families, teachers and staff.
There’s a place for everyone here—whether you have an hour, a day, or a role to contribute, we would love to include you.

Buy Scare Fair wristbands
Advance wristbands are $30 for unlimited games, arts and crafts and more—or choose the new $38 Bonus Band with admission, a pizza combo and a snack. Event-day prices rise to $35 and $45. Adults do not need wristbands.
Volunteer with a friend
More than 100 adult volunteers are needed to make Scare Fair happen. Grab a friend and split a shift—or sign up together. Questions or special requests? Contact Amber Medalla.
Sponsor the fun
Help keep the games and activities flowing all day! Families, businesses and groups can sponsor a Scare Fair activity, help offset event costs and receive printed event-day recognition.
Donate a spooky treat
Bakers and buyers are invited to contribute nut-free, fall- or Halloween-themed desserts for the Devilish Delights table. Contact Ariola Oshlani to sign up or ask a donation question.
Grades 3–5 Tinkering Night
At this free STEM Alliance event, children and their grown-ups will explore sound waves, optical illusions and how the brain processes sight and sound. It takes place in the LGI; a parent must attend and participate.
