2026-2027 Parent Teacher Guild
Building an Even Better STA
This year, PTG fundraising is focused on making tangible improvements to the STA experience for our students and families. Our near-term priorities include a new basketball and volleyball court and electronic scoreboard, a new playground structure, the transition to ParentSquare, campus-wide Wi-Fi and IT upgrades, and improved audio/visual equipment for the Social Center and community events. We are also working toward a larger two-year athletic field project that includes re-sodding and leveling the field, improved irrigation, field lighting, and new seating.
Together, these investments will create better places for our children to learn, play, compete, perform, and come together as a community.

As always, these events and improvements are possible because STA families show up, volunteer, participate, and support one another. Thank you for helping make our school community such a special place.
Mahalo,
Chris Czaplak
PTG President
