Here at R.O. Nelson Elementary, the PTA takes an active role in the education of our children. 90% of the funds that the PTA raises are used to directly support the students and the school through:

• Purchase of books and reading aids
• Reading programs (Accelerated Reader, Battle of the Books and the Literacy Room)
• Support of the DARE program
• Sponsorship of several SOL enrichment programs each year
• "Knightly Code of Conduct" which promotes good citizenship and responsible behavior
• Instruction and incentives in art, music, science, math and physical education
• PTA events at all monthly meetings which offers fun and instructional programs
