Cold Spring Elementary

The main Cold Spring PTA membership drive is held in September when every family is sent a customer membership form and a stamped return envelope. Using this method, we've been able to maintain at least 80% participation and drastically reduced directory errors and volunteer effort.  Our PTA dues in the 2006-7 school year are $20 and membership includes a coveted school directory.
 
If you want to join the Cold Spring PTA and have a child in the school after September, please send our membership chair, Ralph Nelson, an e-mail at RNelson01@aol.com: <mailto:RNelson01@aol.com> .
