Message from the Jackson PTA

Dear Jackson Families,
We are so excited to kick off the 2022-2023 school year, and look forward to a healthy, joyful, and enriching school year ahead! We appreciate all your support as we try to make this year the best ever!!

The Jackson PTA is a non-profit group of volunteers. We partner with our principal, Dr. Rivera, teachers, staff, parents, and the community to support programming and events. Please find some useful information below to help guide you on ways to get involved in our PTA. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or suggestions - we would love to hear from you!

Fundraising Corner

Earn money for the Jackson PTA while you shop on Amazon – it’s so easy!

You can shop using this link: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/11-2989760 and/or go to smile.amazon.com and select your charity: "PTA New York Congress 010-406 George A Jackson PTA." This works in the Amazon app too!

Box Tops

For over 20 years, Box Tops for Education has given families an easy way to earn cash for their school, with products they already buy.

There are 2 ways to redeem Box Tops points for our school – the “old way” (clipping the Box Tops logo and sending into the school in a Ziploc bag) and the “new way” (download the Box Tops mobile app and simply scan your store receipt). Select George A. Jackson Elementary School in the app and you’re good to go!
