Join Silver Springs PTA!

Join PTA

Two ways to join:

Visit the PTA member store (called Givebacks) and join online. It's the quickest & easiest way to join!
If you prefer to pay by check or cash, please place payment + form in an envelope marked "PTA." Then, send it in to your child's teacher or the school office.

Please join by Friday, September 29th.

After 9/25/23, the National PTA is raising member dues for all units.

All are welcome, and there's no pressure to commit to things!

Who can join the Silver Springs PTA?
- Any adult in our school community can join the PTA! We welcome parents, guardians, grandparents, and Silver Springs staff.
How much is it to join?
- $15 for an individual membership (one member with voting privileges).
- $30 for a family membership (two members with voting privileges).
- $10 for a Silver Springs staff member.
Do I need to join again each year?
- Yes. Memberships are valid for one school year (e.g., September 2023-June 2024).
Do I have to attend meetings?
- No. There are zero requirements. Attend as many or as few meetings as you like.
Who can vote at meetings?
- Only members are allowed to vote.
Do I have to volunteer?
- No. You are not obligated to volunteer. You can participate as much as you want.
Does the PTA need volunteers?
- YES! PTA needs many volunteers to keep our great programs running!
Do I have to fundraise?
- No. The Silver Springs PTA chooses not to do “a-thons” or sales-based fundraisers. We won’t ask you to sell candy, popcorn, wrapping paper, or hit up your neighbors for money.
How do you raise money?
- Our primary fundraiser is Invest In Your Child. We ask all Silver Springs families to donate at the beginning of the year and 100% of these donations directly benefit our students & staff.
- Other fundraisers include restaurant nights and birthday lunches.

Many ways to help!

Donate Stuff

You're busy, we get it! One of the easiest ways to help out is to donate things when PTA needs supplies, food, or other stuff for events. Stay tuned - we'll be asking for candy for Trunk or Treat, cookies for staff in December, and gift cards for staff during Teacher Appreciation Week. Thanks in advance!

Volunteer

Whether you have only a few hours to spare, or you are excited to be involved all year, here are some examples:

Help out at a one-time event, such as working at Gal With A Pal, or serving food at Breakfast With A Buddy.
Help plan all the details of an event, like Breakfast With A Buddy or Trunk or Treat.
Serve as the lead on a specific project, like creating the student directory, or planning Teacher Appreciation Week.
Give your time and talent all year to creat the student yearbook, or coordinating a recycling effort.
Dive in to leadership and serve on the Executive Board. It's the best way to get involved all year!
