The goal of the PTA is to bring a closer relationship of home and school so that parents, teachers and students may cooperate and learn from each other for the betterment of our school community. 

This Website is sponsored by the Kingston-Bakie PTA, which serves the children of the D.J. Bakie School in Kingston, New Hampshire.

The Kingston-Bakie PTA gives you an opportunity to invest in your child’s future.  As a member, you can advocate for better conditions for children and families, participate in promoting quality education and promote a true partnership between home and school.

Not sure where you may fit in?  Any and all volunteering is welcome and necessary.  Whether you are available 15 minutes a month or 20 hours a week, all efforts are truly appreciated and can be used!  Click here for Volunteer Opportunities. Consider becoming part of the PTA. Our children are worth it!
