The PTA facilitates fundraising for Horace Mann School and is a partner in community building activities.  Our fundraising provides for educational equipment and supplies like library books and computer technology.  Funds also support classroom enrichment activities and extra-curricular activities which enhance the regular curriculum. The Horace Mann School PTA is very successful due to the overwhelming involvement and dedication of the school community. Parents, guardians, extended families, teachers and staff who consistently go out of their way help to ensure the education and well-being of our children.

If you wish to make a tax-deductible contribution to the school, please make the check out to "Mann PTA" and mail it to:
