The PTA sponsors a variety of events throughout the year, but we can’t do it without your support. Check out the volunteer opportunities below. All interested individuals should contact [email protected].
Please remember, you don’t have to do this alone. The PTA Executive Board is here to help. You can also team up with a neighbor to co-chair an event.
Just remember, we are one TEAM and Together Everyone Achieves More!
