Welcome Back!
Hello Thomas Kelly Families!
We are so excited for the 2024-2025 school year to start. This year also marks the 65th year of Thomas Kelly Elementary School and PTA! We successfully recruited an almost full committee and we are ready to combine our creativity and create some memorable events.
We look forward to giving you more movie nights, family picnic days, Kelly Carnival (with Chili Cook-off), family dances, holiday caroling and more! We are also introducing new events including Coffee with Costa, which will be an opportunity to meet with our Principal, Josh Costa, to discuss any issues or concerns, and answer any questions. The school also plans to have some on-campus experiences, in place of field trips, which can be difficult to facilitate.
Keep an eye out for our monthly newsletters, which will be sent home once per month, as well as accessible through our PTA website and Facebook page. As always, if you have any questions, you may contact us directly at thomaskellypta@gmail.com.
From all of us at Thomas Kelly PTA, have an AMAZING day!
Meet Part of the Team!

Patrick Dunkerly- Secretary
Hi, I'll be your PTA Secretary for this year. My son is in second grade and loves cars, especially when they crash. I do web development and graphic design for work. Then for fun I like to do wargaming and make my own board games. I encourage everyone to get involved in some way, even if that's just sending us an email with a few ideas you have to improve our school for our kids.
Erika Stewart- Membership Chair/School Librarian
Hi! I'm Erika, TK's librarian. I've been a part of this amazing school community for about 13 years and 2 of my own children attended Thomas Kelly. I hold the membership chair with the PTA so if you have any questions on how to join us, attend meetings, bring new ideas to the table, or want to help out in any way, feel free to reach out to me.
