What we fund
The Ardsley PTA is instrumental in supporting enrichment programs, school-wide activities, staff recognition, and financial aid. Our work is 100% volunteer-run and is made possible by your $25 annual membership and your support for fundraising events all year long.
When you buy your Spiritwear, purchase items at the Book Fair and AMS Pop-Up Shop, support Original Artwork, attend a Harlem Wizards game, and link up your DeCicco's loyalty card, you are helping fund:

Veterans Day Flag Garden
The Flag Garden is a time-honored Veterans’ Day tradition where CRS families get to pay tribute to the veterans in their lives. This is a joint effort between the Ardsley PTA and CRS staff. Together volunteering to help: send out requisition flyers; filling out labels; attaching flags; and then planting these flags. Special thank you to Cesarina DiSalvo, Karen O’Rourke and Jill Rogovic.
