Are you interested in planning an event? Being a liaison for Thomas Middle School or the School Board? Or reading the Spring Scholarship applications? If YES, take a look at the PTA Committee Sheet linked below. There are plenty of events happening this year and opportunities to be on a PTA Committee.

Members may add themselves to this sheet if they are interested in joining a committee this year.

If you are looking to volunteer time or donate items, watch for Sign Up Geniuses throughout the year as things come up. Some items are one time events (Ex: Fall Fest) and some are spread throughout the year (Ex: Staff Events). **This is NOT the sign up for Room Rep (room parents who plan parties).

• PTA provides the opportunity for parents to take an active role in their child's educational environment.

Check out the sunflower picture below and spot the pollinator (bee) in action!
