​What We Do

Some of the functions that the PTA provide include 
*   Organizes volunteers to assist students, teachers, and staff. 
*   Raises money to buy classroom materials and equipment and fund art/music/P.E./Hawaiiana classes. 
*   Holds monthly meetings to increase communication between parents and school staff.
The Noelani Elementary PTA (Parent Teacher Association) plays an essential role in ensuring that all of our students have access to an excellent education. Through its focus on academic achievement, a strong sense of community, and parent involvement the PTA allows parents, teachers, staff and others in our community to work together to support our kids. Please click on the tabs below to find out more about our activities.
In 2018, the PTA was thrilled to raise over $60,000 to fund a new playground for our upper elementary students.  We are so thankful for the support of our Noelani Families!  In prior years our fundraising activities supported the part-time teachers (PE and Music), financed the purchase of Chrome books for students, copiers, fans in the classrooms, student planners and contributed towards the cost of School & Staff Discretionary Funds, purchase of two automatic external defibrillators (AED) machines.  Annually, the PTA support student participation to Honolulu Theater for Youth and Honolulu Academy of the Arts, 4th grade Big Island trip and 5th grade Aulani trip, Robotics and other wonderful after school enrichment activities.
However, the PTA's purpose is not all about fundraising. Every year the PTA has organized fun school and community events (Craft Fair, Jog-a-ThonJog a thon, May Fair and movie night, which are run entirely by volunteers) which enhance our keiki's already excellent academic experience at Noelani.
