Does the PTA need volunteers?
-
YES! We need many volunteers to keep our great programs running.
-
Whether you have only a few hours to spare, or you are excited to be involved all year, here are some examples:
-
Some volunteers give just a few hours of time per year, like helping to staff a one-time event, or donating supplies for teacher appreciation week.
-
Some volunteers chair a specific job, like ordering spirit wear, creating the school directory, planning Breakfast With A Buddy, ordering school supply kits, or coordinating the Science Fair.
-
Some volunteers chair a committee that lasts all year long, like the Go Green committee (coordinates recycling of lunch trays and pizza boxes).
-
Some volunteers serve on the Executive Board, which leads the PTA and is deeply involved in all of the fun planning and coordination details.

Do I have to fundraise?

No. Our PTA chooses not to do drives or sales-based fundraisers. We won’t ask you to sell candy, popcorn, wrapping paper, or hit up your neighbors for money.
-
Our primary fundraiser is Invest In Your Child. We ask families to donate at the beginning of the year and 100% of these donations directly benefit our students & staff.
-
Other fundraisers include restaurant nights, birthday lunches, and spirt wear.
