PTA Committees

Below is a list of PTA committees and special jobs.  Some have notes indicating they need more help.  Our goal is to have every parent and teacher serve on 1 committee throughout the year.  Scan the list and if you see somewhere you'd like to help, contact our volunteer coordinator or the committee chair.

Thank you!  Remember, many hands make light work!
