Educational & Academic Programs

Each year, when you buy a PTA membership with Kerr PTA, you help us provide educational programs and fun family events that benefit the students of James D Kerr Elementary! 

These are a few of the family programs from previous school years.

The Kerr Comet Spelling Bee is open to students K-6 through a combination of written tests and stand-up Spelling Bee. Kerr PTA is sponsoring the Scripps National Spelling Bee at our school--one of the nation's oldest and most iconic competitions. Students may progress from classroom to cafeteria, from auditorium to civic center, delighting friends, family, sponsors and fans just as million of other students have done before them!
