Programs
Volunteering as part of the PTA not only benefits the school, but it also benefits your child. When your child sees your involvement in the school, your child sees the importance you place in his/her education. It's wonderful to see the smiles on children's faces as they see family members volunteer in their classrooms, at the school, and during the many events the PTA hosts. Visit the "Help Out!" tab for the many volunteer opportunities available.
