The Stone Academy PTA works to secure necessary resources for the school through various events and fundraisers held throughout the year.
Your PTA membership demonstrates the importance you place on every student's experience at Stone Academy. The vibrant community our PTA helps build plays a vital role in making Stone a magical place that inspires creative learning. Join the PTA.
Throughout the year, our PTA actively works to fund teacher grants, plans and sponsors community events, and provides financial assistance so that every student can experience all that our school offers.
Stone Academy was the only elementary school in South Carolina to have 100% representation for all students for the 2023-2024 school year. We were the recipient of the One Voice for Every Child Award and we won the Golden Apple 100% Faculty Membership Award.
To show your support for all Stone students, faculty, and staff, we ask that every member of your family join the Stone Academy PTA this year. By purchasing a family membership, you help us get closer to our goal of having a PTA member for each Stone student. You also have the option to support this effort by sponsoring a membership for another child.
Open on Fridays before school for students to shop starting after Labor Day. Enjoy special online shopping today for Stone spirit gear like t-shirts, sweatshirts, magnets, stickers, and Chromebook sleeves! Orders for your Stone swag close Friday, Aug. 30 for the year so get your pre-orders done now!
