The PTSA is looking to fill three exciting leadership roles for the upcoming year:

– Fundraising Chair: Help support our school by leading fundraising efforts throughout the year, including concessions, the school dance, and any new creative fundraising ideas you’d like to bring to life! This is a great opportunity to use your creativity, connect with our community, and help provide amazing opportunities for our students.

– Legislative Representative: Help keep our community informed and be a voice for education advocacy by sharing important updates and opportunities for families to get involved.

– Reflections Lead: Help coordinate our annual Reflections Art Program and celebrate the creativity, imagination, and talents of our students.

No experience? No problem! We’re a group of women who love to laugh, have fun, support our school, and make a positive impact for our kids.  We’re looking for more amazing people to join our team, bring new ideas, and be part of the magic that happens behind the scenes.

Come be part of the fun!
