Welcome from Your PTA Presidents


Dear Apollo Families,

Welcome to a new school year! We are excited and honored to serve together as your Apollo Elementary PTA Presidents for the 2026-2027 school year. 

Our PTA is all about bringing families, teachers, staff, and our community together to create meaningful experiences for every Apollo student. Whether you're returning to Apollo or joining our community for the first time, we hope you'll find ways to connect, participate, and make new memories with us this year.

We have an exciting year ahead filled with family events, programs, volunteer opportunities, and so much more. We encourage you to join or renew your PTA membership, get involved when you can, and stay connected throughout the year.

We look forward to working alongside all of you as we continue Launching Success Together! 🚀

Warmly,
Rachel Mancia-Moreno & Michelle Kauffman
