Welcome to the Bolivar Road Elementary PTA. We are parents, teachers, staff, and community members working together to advocate, support, and enrich the lives of every child. We possess the common goal of providing an elementary school experience promoting children who are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. The Bolivar Road Elementary School PTA encourages parental participation in school and community activities for the benefit of our children. We function as a cooperative unit and we work together with the Chittenango Schools and the Chittenango PTA’s in each building. Please consider joining us.
