PTA UPDATES
The first PTA Virtual General Meeting of the year is September 22 at 6:30 PM.
We have several seats on the Executive Board that we need to fill. Executive Board roles are a one-year commitment and will be elected at this meeting. These positions are:
Event Chair of Community Building Events and Movie Nights
Chair of Food Coordination for Events
Chair of Auctions and Sponsorships
Four (4) Members-at-large spots, reserved for new parents
In addition, we have additional roles and committees that are not part of the Executive Board but are critical to the school’s operations. Some of these are short term commitments that make a huge impact:
Picture Day Chair
Fifth Grade Committee Chair and Committee Members
“Free Money” Chair
Author Visit Coordinator
Garden Co-Chair
Yearbook Editor
