Join the PTA Team

The PTA Secretary is the person who keeps everything on record and on track, a central, genuinely useful role and a very manageable one, even with a busy schedule.

What it involves:

• Taking notes at monthly PTA board meetings (usually one meeting per month)

• Preparing and distributing meeting agendas and minutes

• Maintaining key PTA documents and records

• Managing official PTA correspondence

• Ensuring follow-ups and action items don't slip through the cracks between meetings

What makes it a great fit:

It's a behind-the-scenes role with real impact: you help the board stay organized and accountable, and you get a front-row seat to everything the PTA does. No prior board or PTA experience is required, just someone who's attentive, reliable, and comfortable taking clear notes (with pen, keyboard or AI)

Time commitment:

One board meeting per month (morning, approximately 1.5 hours), plus a small amount of time before and after for agenda prep and minutes. Light and predictable throughout the year.

The PTA Treasurer is the one who keeps our finances healthy and transparent, managing the PTA's budget so that every dollar raised goes where it should.

What it involves:

• Managing the PTA budget and tracking income and expenses across events and programs

• Processing reimbursements for board members and event leads

• Preparing a clear financial summary for monthly board meetings

• Coordinating with event leads on budgets and vendor payments

• Ensuring financial records are accurate and up to date

What makes it a great fit:

It sounds more intimidating than it is. You don't need to be an accountant, just someone who's comfortable with numbers, organized, and reliable. The tools are simple, and the full board is there to support you. It's a concrete, high-impact way to contribute to the community.

Time commitment:

A few hours per month for ongoing tracking, plus preparation time ahead of each board meeting. Slightly busier around major events (Book Fair, Kermesse, Dîner en Blanc) when more transactions flow through.

Good news: we've already found an Anglophone Communications Lead for next year. Now we need the French-speaking partner to complete the duo!

The Communications Lead is the voice of the PTA, the person who makes sure our community stays informed, connected, and engaged. As the Francophone lead, you'll work alongside your Anglophone counterpart to produce bilingual content across all PTA channels.

What it involves:

• Producing the French-language content for the weekly Fastimes newsletter (PTA section)

• Contributing to the PTA website, Facebook group, and WhatsApp communication

• Collaborating with your Anglophone counterpart to ensure consistent, bilingual messaging

• Coordinating with PTA board members and event leads to gather content each week

• Keeping the community tone warm, clear, and inclusive

What makes it a great fit:

You don't need to be a professional writer or a social media expert. If you're comfortable writing in French, enjoy keeping things organized, and like the idea of helping a community stay connected, this role is for you. Tools and workflows are already in place, you'll receive a full handover and ongoing support from the outgoing lead and the board.

Time commitment:

A few hours per week, mostly around newsletter production (content gathering, drafting, reviewing). The rhythm is predictable and fits around a busy schedule. Heavier during event-heavy weeks, lighter during school breaks.

The role in a nutshell

Pizza Monday is one of FASNY's most beloved weekly traditions, and one of the most visible. Every Monday, hundreds of kids across Manor and Village Campuses enjoy a hot pizza lunch with fresh fruit, made possible by parent volunteers and coordinated by a small team of dedicated leads.

For 2026–2027, we're moving to a co-lead model: 2 co-leads per campus (Manor and Village). Why? Because a weekly commitment is much easier, and more fun, when you share it with someone. You'll be able to split tasks, cover for each other, and keep things running smoothly all year long.

What does a Pizza Monday Co-Lead actually do?

You are the person who makes Monday lunch happen. Concretely, that means:

• Coordinating the weekly volunteer schedule (via SignUpGenius)

• Picking up the pizza order from the vendor and prepping boxes and fruit before service

• Being on-site during lunch to oversee the service and make sure everything runs smoothly

• Communicating with the PTA board on supplies, budget, and any issues

• Welcoming and guiding new volunteers, many parents sign up for their first shift with you

The time commitment is Mondays from approximately 10:45 AM to 1:15 PM during the school year. Outside of Mondays, it's minimal, mostly a quick check on the volunteer sign-up sheet and occasional coordination with your co-lead and the PTA board.

What you don't need

No prior PTA or board experience. No food service background. No special skills beyond being organized and friendly. You'll receive a full handover and training from the outgoing leads, and the PTA board is always available for support. 

What you'll love about it

This is one of the most rewarding volunteer roles at FASNY. You get to see your child in their natural habitat, watching them with their friends, their teachers, in the rhythm of a school day. You'll become a familiar face on campus and build real connections with other parents, faculty, and staff.

Fair warning: the kids will love you for it. Don't be surprised if you start getting recognized at Trader Joe's or at soccer practice.

Who is this role for?

This role is a great fit if you're available on Mondays during school hours (even every other Monday with your co-lead), enjoy being hands-on, and like the idea of contributing to something the whole school community looks forward to every week.
