Running successful events takes a team effort, and we’re grateful to rely on the support of our school community.
We'll help you find the perfect volunteer opportunity, whether it's assisting in the classroom, supporting holiday events, leading activities during special campus days, or offering your time and support behind the scenes with organizing and receiving donations. Or perhaps there's another way you'd like to contribute, let us know! We're excited to have your support and look forward to partnering with you.
Join the fun! Head over to our Events & Activities page to see how you can help out at upcoming events, or email us at SunTerraceStemPTA@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Room Parents provide an invaluable service to our school. In addition to helping coordinate class parties and special events, they serve as the main line of communication between the PTA, the classroom teacher, and fellow parents.
By keeping families informed and involved, Room Parents play a key role in building a strong and connected classroom community.
Duties include:
Organizing class parties, usually around a specific theme or holiday
Collecting contributions from parents and organizing teacher gifts for holidays and birthdays
Recruiting and coordinating volunteers for classroom activities, school events, and field trips
Sending out reminders and managing sign-up sheets for events, activities, and trips
Maintaining an up-to-date contact list for all parents in the class
