📣 Did you know there are only about 90 days of school left?!

As we start looking ahead to next year, we’re beginning to form our PTA Executive Board for the upcoming school year — and we’d love your help!

If you’re interested in getting involved, learning more, or shadowing a role to see what it’s all about, please reach out.

All positions are available! President, Secretary and Treasurer must be filled to have a PTA.

Being part of the PTA is a wonderful way to support our school, our students, and our staff while connecting with other families. No experience necessary — just a willingness to help and a love for our school community!

📩 Interested or have questions? Message us or reach out anytime!

Together, we make a difference 💙🐉
