James G Walsh Middle School PTA

2011-2012 "Team Up" 

On behalf of the Walsh PTA, I would like to welcome all of our families back for the 2011-2012 school year!  We are very excited about this coming year.  PTA has been busy planning our family nights, programs for both parents and students.  Events like these help foster a sense of community and help make Walsh Middle School feel like home.

As parents, it is extremely important to be involved in our children’s education.  PTA is a vital link between home, school and community.  It is the largest child advocacy volunteer group in America and speaks on behalf of children who cannot affect change for themselves.  The PTA’s budget is based solely on membership dues, school-wide fundraisers and tax-deductible donations.  I encourage you to become an active participant in our school and community by becoming a member of Walsh PTA!  Membership in PTA allows parents to have a stronger voice in how PTA funds are allocated, what kinds of fundraisers and events are planned and how to best support our school.  Another benefit of PTA membership comes in the form of discounts from places such as Sea World, Six Flags, Dell and Southwest Airlines, just to name a few!  Please consider joining PTA today!

We are always in need of volunteers on many levels.  We have volunteer opportunities for every time and commitment level – there is always something to fit your schedule!  Please check out the volunteer form to see what best fit your needs!

With your time, talent and monetary support, we can accomplish great things for the students, teachers and families of Walsh Middle School.  In addition, we as a PTA help maintain the district’s Clothes Closet for children in need and coordinate the local Reflections contest for our students.

We invite you to become a part of something wonderful!  Together, we can make this year even better!!  Please take some time to view the highlights of last year’s PTA accomplishments and our PTA Executive Board Roster for the 2011-2012 school year.
