We're incredibly proud that the Nimitz PTA can sponsor our art program for all Nimitz students. Additionally, the PTA funds technology, our multicultural festival, assemblies, library books, and teacher & classroom supplies. Nimitz PTA wants to make sure we can continue to offer these programs, in addition to fun social and family events for our community.
