PTA Achievements

The River Vale PTA began in 1974 and has proven to be one of the highest rated PTAs in the State of New Jersey!  The PTA helps parents, students, and our entire community.  With a count of nearly 500 members and many more volunteers, we are able to provide our children and schools with many programs, awards and gifts.  We have presented thousands of dollars in teachers' grants and student awards over the years, organized countless numbers of assemblies, events and programs for our children.  The PTA is proud of what we are able to provide our schools and, most importantly, our children.  We would like to share our achievements with you.
