Library News!

  • November in the library is about being thankful for our reading heroes.

  • Students K-3 will get reading cards to keep track of books they read this month with a reading hero, and once they have a full card, students may trade it in for a prize.
  • Students in grades 4 and 5 will be able to choose to be a reading hero. They are invited to come to the library to record a reading of a picture book for younger readers to enjoy.
  • Students who choose to be a reading hero may either select a prize, or they may have library fines waived from their accounts. (Because sometimes even reading heroes lose a book.)

Why join PTA?

The Pershing PTA advocates for the students and teachers of Pershing Elementary. This organization supports Pershing teachers through classroom grants, back to school gifts, providing meals during back to school and parent-teacher conference times. Our PTA provides funds for class field trips, and hosts many family events.


It costs $10.00 to join PTA. You are not obligated to donate your time just because you sign up. This small amount of money quickly adds up to support our small school. Grandparents and other family members are welcome to join and support the PTA! Each dollar goes toward Pershing Elementary.


Our Pershing PTA would love your involvement as much as you wish to help. This is a great way to show your child you support their school.


If you wish to know more just ask a PTA Board Member!
