Sequoyah PTA News
September 2025
Welcome Back, Stallions!
Welcome to the 2025 - 2026 School Year!

Greetings to all the new and seasoned Sequoyah families! What a wonderful first week of school! We are so excited to be on this journey with you.

For our new families, the Sequoyah Elementary PTA is network of parents, teachers, staff and local community devoted to the educational success of our children. We have many exciting events planned for the year including long standing traditions and sprinkling of new ones. The success of these events would not be possible without the support and time by our wonderful volunteers and PTA members.

We encourage teachers, parents and staff to become a member of the PTA today to help support our mission which includes advocating for well being of our students and families and creating a positive, engaging school community.

Lets make this year the best one yet! Please share your ideas and bring your questions when you see us. Welcome to the 2025 - 2026 school year!
