The overall purpose of the Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School (Stokes School) Parent Teacher Association is to supplement and assist Stokes families, faculty and staff in their efforts to optimize the learning and social environment for Stokes Scholars.
As the Stokes PTA, we are about parents and teachers working together. Our goal is to create a better school and a better educational experience for our children. We work to create an atmosphere where everyone can do their best work.
