A huge THANK YOU to those who joined the PTA this year. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, we have met our initial goal to fully fund the membership portion of our budget!
It's not too late to join and continue supporting all of the wonderful events and efforts for our Mustang community. Your $30 membership dues ($10 for faculty/staff) will directly go to support field trips, free events for the school community and the needs of students and teachers in the classroom.
With changing budgets, our school needs our support more than ever. Click to join the PTA for the 2025-2026 School Year!
The Fine Print: Joining the PTA does not obligate you to volunteering for events, you can PTA Your Way and participate (or not) in the ways you feel comfortable! We appreciate your support.

A Midsummer Night's Dream at Lake Braddock
Looking for something fun and family-friendly to do with you and your family? Look no further than Lake Braddock Theatre's fall production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows the love story of four confused Athenians, a wacky bunch of actors preparing their play for the upcoming royal wedding, and a forest full of magical fairies who tend to disrupt the natural order of the human world. This show is set around a PG-rating and will perform on October 30th, 31st, and November 1st! A special addition, those who come on October 31st, Halloween, will be able to get a photo with their favorite cast members! Costumes are encouraged. Tickets can be purchased at lbtheatre.com. We hope to see you there!
