Join the Fun! Be a Part of a PTO Committee!
At the beginning of each school year, we ask for parents to review the various PTO committees and see which area they might be able to volunteer their time and talents. The success of the PTO depends on parent involvement! Help us with another great year by volunteering your time and/or talents.
If you are interested, contact the PTO. A chairperson will get in contact with you at some point either via phone or e-mail. At that time, the PTO will let you know the different ways in which you can help make the event a huge success. If you want to be involved but don’t know how much time you will have to offer – that’s okay! We have volunteer jobs to fit all types of work and time schedules.
Here are the committees…
