Snail Lake Spring Read-a-Thon
The Snail Lake PTO will be hosting a spring Read-a-Thon! Dates are April 9-22, 2025. For the Read-a-Thon, students will be invited to read books during the two week period and track their minutes. Families can also choose to raise money for the Snail Lake PTO by getting donations from family or friends. More information will be sent home in your childs folder.
Attention Families Headed to Turtle Lake Next Fall
We have openings in our Turtle Lake PTA Executive Board. Please check them out and see if they may be a good fit for you. The open board positions have a very light time commitment that lasts throughout the school year for the next 2 years (2025-2027.) Board members are expected to participate in executive board meetings (virtual, about one per month for about an hour) and volunteer at various PTA events as needed/available including back-to-school nights, socials, and communication nights. If interested, please email TurtleLakePTA@gmail.com.
Secretary
Duties: Record the minutes of the monthly general PTA meetings. Availability for monthly meetings is a minimum requirement. Childcare is provided at each meeting. Meetings are from 6:30-8 pm and vary on the day of the week.
Time commitment is the duration of the meetings each month plus the time it takes to send the minutes to the Communications Chair (2.5-4 hours a month.)
Reach out to current Secretary, Ana Cantell at AnaCantell27@gmail.com for more information.
Co-Treasurer (bookkeeper)
- Duties: Manage the budget, general bookkeeping, providing updates for PTA meetings.
All of the work can be done at home and at your convenience, about 2 hours a month.
