The Ben Rush PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is an important part of the Ben Rush Elementary School community. Its purpose is to create a partnership between families and staff to support all students. The Ben Rush PTA works to enrich our school programs through classroom support & enrichment activities beyond what is funded by the Lake Washington School District and Washington State. All moneys raised comes from the generous donations of families, friends, and students of the Ben Rush school community.
