Skyview ASB & PTSA - What's the Difference?

 

Our Eagle community is incredibly lucky to have an outstanding Skyview ASB (Associated Student Body) and Skyview PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) supporting the kids and staff at Skyview. That said, it is also important to understand the differences between these two organizations and why it is important to support both through the two fundraisers currently happening:

Below you will find a helpful chart to explain the differences, between these two groups. The best part, is that what you will find is that the bottom line serves all Skyview kids!
