Overview

Welcome to the Nesbit PTA Ohana - We add the AWESOME! to Nesbit

The Nesbit PTA Ohana (Ohana means "family" in Hawaiian) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit parent and teacher organization (Tax ID #:  94-6184980) that encourages parent and teacher collaboration working towards delivering an outstanding education for all students. At Nesbit K-8, we are fortunate to have a highly active PTA that focuses on three primary goals: 1) Community Building towards a positive learning environment and connectivity between families; 2) Advocacy for children’s education; and (3) Fundraising to support educational and enrichment programs that benefit the children of Nesbit K-8. 

Monetary donations to Nesbit Elementary PTA are eligible for tax deduction, as well as Corporate Matching programs (Non-Profit Organization #: 9539943). Please contact our Treasurer, Sid Tao (treasurer@nesbitpta.org) if you have questions about donations to Nesbit Elementary PTA.

By funding your local PTA, it ensures that we are able to work together to support many of the key programs that benefit Nesbit’s children. In particular, we very much value sponsorship of:

• Educator Development Programs
• Classroom Supplies and Field Trips
• Outdoor Ed
• Robotics & Maker Programs
• Field Trips
• Science
• Music for Minors
• Eighth Grade Graduation Events
• Technology (online programs and equipment)
• and much more….

In short, every dollar that we generate goes directly to the classroom, enrichment programs, or the development of our educators and technology at Nesbit.
