The PTA could really use your help!  Please take a look at the multitude of volunteer positions and find the one that fits your talents & your time.  We are in need of Chairpersons, Coordinators and people willing to assist them when they can.  You could help with one committee or multiple committees.  One thing all of the positions have in common, you MUST BE A MEMBER OF THE PTA.  State and National PTA guidelines require it.  Membership is only $6.00/year.

 

Many Chair/Coordinator positions can be shared between friends to allow for maximum participation and flexibility, and the Executive Board will be happy to help you with any aspect of your position.  Many more volunteers are needed to help out our Chairs & Coordinators with their respective committees.
