​​

Do I have to volunteer? 

• No.  You are never obligated to volunteer. 

• All members are welcome to attend meetings, as many or as few as you like.

• All members are allowed to vote. 

​

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.
