Pine Grove Educational Alliance

What We're About

Our Mission

PGEA, or Pine Grove Educational Alliance, is the parent-teacher organization committed to supporting our Pine Grove teachers and staff and planning and executing school fundraisers and community events, such as the first ever kickball tournament, Panther Prowl, trunk or treat, and the Sock Hop.

You probably remember a PTO/PTA organization from your youth…and you probably remember those moms promoting bake sales, door-to-door wrapping paper sales, and holding long, boring meetings. That is NOT US!

We are an all-inclusive group of parents that cares about elevating our children’s educational experience through FUN fundraisers and AMAZING community events. We are all working parents that find just a little bit of time in our schedule each month to volunteer for the betterment of our school and our kids. AND, we have FUN. No, seriously. PGEA is a great way to meet more parents and we have an amazing group that loves to socialize outside of our meetings/events.

We invite anyone interested in helping our students and teachers THRIVE to join!

Fundraising Philosophy

Pine Grove is blessed with a parent community committed to giving and volunteering to give students the best learning experience possible. There are tools teachers are thrilled to use with students that could not have been provided with limited state funding. They were provided by you! Last school year, we raised over $65,000. Both your monetary generosity and volunteer hours helping to put on our events give the school what it needs to provide the best of the best in 21st century education.
