Welcome to the Canterbury Woods Elementary School PTA

Home of the Cougars!

We are so excited that you are joining our wonderful school! We look forward to a great year filled with events for the students, parents, and the community; providing academic enhancements and supporting our students and teachers so they can continue to thrive. With your support, we will keep Canterbury Woods Elementary School (CWES) a distinguished and excellent school for our children. We urge you to learn more about our school and our PTA. Your contribution, whether it is your time, knowledge, or resources make a difference to our students.

Our PTA offers many events that are designed to strengthen community connections, inside and outside of the school, in addition to supporting classroom programs and activities that enhance learning. Some examples include: Popsicles on the Playground, Cougar Crawl, Movie Night, Bingo Night, Fun Fair, Mother's Day Tea, Virginia Day, Egypt Day, etc. Check out our Committee's page for the complete list and a synopsis of each event, activities, and programs that the PTA supports.
