​The John Allen Parent Council is a 501c(3) organization where membership includes all parents and guardians of John Allen Elementary students.

Our fundraising allows for expanded academic learning opportunities for our students by sponsoring field trips; teacher grants; technology programs; curriculum enhancement; green initiatives; health and wellness programs; playground equipment; in-school assemblies; clubs; Science Olympiad; Disability Awareness Workshop; theatrical play; teacher appreciation; building enhancements; outdoor classrooms; and community building events. 

We volunteer our time and talents to raise money, organize school events, communicate important information to our Allen community, and assist students in developing Allen Eagle Pride! All of these efforts build our sense of community with one another and enhance our children’s experience at John Allen Elementary.
