Bolton PTA - Advocacy Committee

The Bolton PTA is a group of parents and teachers who work together to benefit education in our town. We believe that educating children is truly a joint effort between teachers, administrators, parents, and all town residents who generously support Bolton Public Schools in so many ways.

We invite you to browse our site to learn more about our Bolton PTA -- and perhaps to consider ways in which you can get involved in helping to support and promote excellence in education.

U.S. News and World Report released its ranking America’s Best High Schools for 2009. Bolton High School was one of sixteen Connecticut schools to be awarded the silver medal, thereby ranking it as one of the top 600 performing high schools in the country. To rank the schools, U.S. News and World Report and the School Evaluation Services analyzed enrollment and academic information data from more than 21,000 public high schools. The Bolton PTA congratulates Bolton High School, its administrators and teachers on such an impressive accomplishment!

The Variety show was a great success thanks to all the volunteers who helped with everything from coaching, lighting, sound, choreography, costumes, prop building, handing out programs, policing the door, handling ticket sales, publicity and all the other little things that are needed to make something like this happen. Thank you again!!! Over 1200 people came to watch this year's show, many of whom, missed the UConn game on Saturday to do so. The PTA thanks you for all your support!! Due to the success of the show, we were able to balance our budget due to shortfalls from our previous fundraisers.

Next year's show dates are tentatively scheduled for April 9th & 10th depending on parent volunteers. Next year's show theme was picked by Sydney Hanna, "Bolton Salutes the Oscars". Other winning entries were received from Kylee Czerwinski, Rose Zimmerman, Elizabeth Allegretti & Lexi Hovan. Show times will be changed next year. Friday night's show will be at 6:30 and Saturday's show will be at 4:00 p.m.

Alison would again like to thank everyone who helped make last year's variety show a huge success. DVDs can still be purchased from Captiva Video. Click here for a copy of the form. There are also copies of the DVD at Bentley Memorial and BCS Library. In addition, Alison has copies of the 2008 program if anyone needs one.

If you are interested in getting a head start on next year's Reflections program, the categories will remain the same, but the new theme will be: "Beauty”
