What is the PTA Board and what do you have to do to be on it? The board members attend a monthly meeting (usually during the  school day) and an annual PTA convention for two days in the Spring.  It is made up of an executive board (President, VPs, Treasurer, and Secretary), committee chairs and members. The executive board basically takes care of doing all the stuff that keeps the PTA legal and in good standing.  The committees are usually in charge of specific events throughout  the year.  All you have to do is volunteer!  You can help as much as you are able and can always count on other PTA members to help. We hold our meetings the first Thursday of every month at 10:00. We would love to have you join us!  We usually meet in the extra 4th grade room, but check in with the office when you arrive and they can lead you in the right direction.  2017-2018 Board Members  Please contact us if you would like to be a part of the PTA Board--we would LOVE LOVE LOVE to  have more parents involved.   We have so much fun and would love to see some new faces and hear some new ideas.   We need you, so please don't hesitate to volunteer!
