Ask not what your PTA can do for you...The PTA is a collection of volunteer parents and family members that help our students achieve in our gem of a local school.

 

We actually need people to help us find people to help.  We have a nominating committee that helps us find parents and volunteers to help accomplish all of the awesome events that make this school so special.  Great schools need great parents.  Click here for information on getting on nominating committee.  

 

Also, even if the joining the Board isn't in your future, it's never too late to join the PTA as a member.

  **Email Christy Pearson-Wohlwend if you have questions.

The PTA is on the lookout for parents who would like to help out with Spring Fling, Silent Auction, and Yearbook editor.
