🚨 We Need a PTA Treasurer for Next School Year!

Are you good with numbers? Organized? Looking for a meaningful way to support our school community? The PTA is looking for a Treasurer for the upcoming school year!

This role is essential to helping us manage funds, support school events, and make sure every dollar counts for our kids. No accounting degree needed—just a willingness to learn and a heart for service. Training and support will be provided!

‼️ If we don’t fill this position, we won’t be able to have a PTA next year. That means many of the special extras our students and teachers love could disappear such as Dragon Festival, family bingo and sweetheart dance.

If you’re interested or want to learn more, comment below or message us directly. Let’s make next year amazing—together!
