Studies show that involved parents are a key factor in their child's success at school. Our goal at Epes is to provide an opportunity for each parent to participate in some way to make Epes an extraordinary experience for their child and their family. We are asking you to dedicate just three hours of your time to the school this year--this is 180 minutes, only 1 minute a day! This can be done in the home, at school, or in the community.
Listed below are the volunteer opportunities available. For further information on volunteering, please contact any PTA board member directly. E-mail addresses are available on the PTA Officers page.
