Get Involved
PTA Committees Need YOU!

Looking to get more involved, but not quite ready to chair an event?  Joining a committee is a great way to increase your impact and find your passion!  The following School Support and Fundraising Committees are looking for a few more volunteers to champion these initiatives:

  • Box Tops Fundraising Committee: This committee shares monthly results, gets people signed up through PTA events, and finds new ways to let parents/faculty/neighbors know about the program.
  • Garden: This Committee helps expand and maintain our school garden! Plant new plants, water, and harvest fruits and vegetables throughout the year. 
  • Teacher Appreciation: This committee organizes Teacher Appreciation activities, catering, and gifts throughout the year.  The PTA has planned a specific budget for Teacher Appreciation.

Questions about any of these opportunities?  Reach out to SangerVolunteering@gmail.com.
