The Bolton Academy PTA is a volunteer organization that focuses on educating parents, engaging the community and supporting our wonderful teachers and staff. PTA hosts events for the entire Bolton community throughout the year. To see a list of the PTA's events for this school year, please refer to the Bolton Academy school calendar.
