🌟 Join the Estes PTA Team! 🌟

We’re starting to build our 2026-2027 PTA leadership team, and we would love for YOU to be part of it! Our PTA helps make so many wonderful things happen at Estes - from community events and teacher appreciation to programs that support our students and classrooms.

The best part? You don’t have to do it alone. Many roles can be shared with a small team, and even a little time can make a big impact when we all pitch in.

We are currently looking for volunteers specifically for:

📣 Advocacy Chair

💰 Reimbursement Coordinator

☕ Hospitality Team

🎃 Fall Festival Coordinator

🍕 Spirit Nights & Programming

🌿 Beautification Coordinator

📚 Used Book Fair Coordinator

Whether you have a lot of time or just a little, there’s a place for you in PTA. When families work together, we create an incredible school experience for our kids and show our teachers how much we appreciate them.

💙 Interested or want to learn more?

Send us a message or email [email protected]

Together, we make Estes an amazing place to learn, grow, and belong! 💛

📣 Estes families — your voice is needed before March 26.

The Asheville Public Safety Committee is meeting to address traffic safety on our school corridor — Pinchot Drive, Overlook Road, and the roads our kids travel every day.

A pre-written email to City Council is waiting for you at safeschoolsavl.org. It takes 60 seconds. Every email counts.

Can't email? Leave a voicemail before March 25 at 5pm: 📞 (855) 925-2801 · Code 11543

This has been a problem for decades. March 26 is our chance to change that. Please share so other Estes families see this. 🙏
