PTA Committees

The PTA appreciates any and all involvement that you can contribute to our events and projects. There are so many ways to help the school with your time and dedication. Volunteer in a committee to lead, plan or help out with your talents, skills, and creativity. Not only will you be supporting the school, but it is also a great way to spend the day with your child and to know other parents in the community. When parents volunteer, all students benefit.

One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.

The PTA runs on volunteers!
