Who we are
The John Muir Elementary PTA is a volunteer group of families, teachers, and staff who support and celebrate the success, diversity, well-being, and equitable opportunity of all students at John Muir Elementary. We serve as a liaison between families and advocate for all students, sponsor fun events, and provide financial support to classrooms.
