Each year we need parents to fill the leadership positions and each year a new PTA Board is elected:

President  (PTA Leader)

VP Programs (School programs & assemblies)

VP Ways & Means (Fundraising events)

VP Membership (Annual membership campaign)   

VP Communications (Print and electronic media)
