This is a week-long celebration at the beginning of May to celebrate the wonderful job our teachers do every day. The PTA provides breakfast, lunch, and goodies for the teachers throughout that week and also provides small tokens of appreciation that are raffled off as door prizes at each event. Volunteers are needed to arrange the food, purchase and distribute the gifts and treats.

This is a great committee to serve on to show your child's teacher how much you appreciate them.

Each year, the PTA invests thousands of dollars in Cultural Arts & Curriculum Enrichment programs to enhance the educational experiences of our children. This committee helps select educational programs to be brought into our schools for the benefit of our students. This committee also investigates and evaluates new alternatives for programs that fit within our budget and enhance our curriculum.

The Family Fun Committee will be hosting serval family-friendly events this year. 

The Fair Haven PTA partners with local photographers to offer a limited number of portrait sittings and discounted package pricing for it's members every Fall, just in time for holiday cards. Taken at local settings, provided the weather cooperates (portraits are taken indoors if not), for a discounted price you can purchase cards and prints.

This popular fundraiser fills quickly and bookings are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Field day is a fun-filled day of games and races and all kinds of fun activities for kids outside in McCarter Park. This event requires many, many volunteers. 

Tasks include, set up and clean up staffing games, organizing refreshments and coordinating the schedule. This is a great volunteer day for Dads and an awesome way to celebrate the end of the school year!

Every year in late September, you are guaranteed to see the harbingers of HarvestFest, the scarecrows, lining the streets of Fair Haven.

It is an afternoon filled with games, pumpkin painting, petting zoo, a D.J., face painting and more.  Other highlights include: the always popular pumpkin decorating contest and an appearance by Fair Haven Marial Arts. Baked goods and various other delicious treats will be available throughout the day. 

Admission is free and all are welcome! Come join us at this fun-filled event.
