The SMA PTCC is an all-volunteer group dedicated to supporting the cadets, teachers, staff, and parents of Sarasota Military Academy. It is our mission to enhance the day-to-day experience of everyone at the Academy.

Our goals are to:

• Encourage interaction between families and the Academy
• Serve as a source of support for cadets, teachers, and staff
• Create programs and events that enhance the school day

We accomplish this by:

• Encouraging a partnership between teachers, administration, families, cadets, and the community
• Integrating additional programs and events beyond the core curriculum
• Fundraising to help fund Academy events and needs

We work closely with the Academy administration to achieve these goals.

Some of our programs and events include:

• Scheduling and running book fairs to enhance the school’s library
• Funding grant requests from cadets, teachers, and clubs for up to $500 twice a year
• Organizing and running Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
• Raising funds through the sale of SMA Spirit Wear
• Planning holiday cadet events including Candy for Cadets for Halloween, Valentines for Valentine’s Day, and others
• Representing parents at Board meetings
• Attending and representing parents at all school events
• Providing funds for special school events like the Talent Show, Breakfast with an Author, Concerts, and so on
• Coordinating volunteers for school activities
• Providing funds and support for school improvement projects that aren’t covered by the budget
