Our Programs

Did you know? ​The Irvington PTSA provides approximately $130,000 per year to fund grants and run programs and activities that directly benefit all the students in our district.

Each of our programs is unique, but they are all volunteer-run. Behind each program is a committee, made up of a chair and a group of volunteers who own planning and execution each year.

​The list below provides an overview of all our current programming areas. For more information on any of our programs, please email irvingtonnyptsa@gmail.com.
