PTA Rebuilding Resillience, Standing Ready in Uncertainty

Our kids and our school need us now more than ever. Members of the Bordeaux North Nashville Community PTA, including our own president, were impacted by the tornado. We are in self-care mode and looking to future opportunities to help our schools through the corona virus hardships. And we stress the call to be flexible and ready to serve and respond as needed in this time of uncertainty.

We are postponing our Junk in The Trunk event. We will reschedule so continue to save items to sell and think up ways to bring fleamarket fun to our event!

Stay tuned as we announce information in the coming weeks. We can continue to make sure our children and learning and thriving. CLICK HERE FOR FUN ONLINE LEARNING and prayers to everyone for strength and recovery in North Nashville.
