How to Volunteer
Regardless of what your exact interests are, your participation will be welcomed. And the PTA is not just for moms. Many dads play an active role as volunteers and take on leadership roles in the organization. Check your Wednesday folder or this website for information about PTA activities.
Even if you don't have much time, attending meetings is an excellent way to stay on top of what's happening at the school and to connect with other parents, teachers and the principal.
