PTA Committees
The PTA sponsors many great programs throughout the school year. Below are a list of the different committees and their chairpersons. Please refer to your school directory for committee chair contact information. To volunteer for a particular committee or to inquiry about a vacant position, please contact the PTA Board.
| After School Clubs |

Instead of a gift wrap fundraiser this Fall the PTA will be requesting a $25-per-student Monetary Contribution. This contribution will be tax deductible.
