Our PTG is very busy working to provide outstanding support through volunteerism and fundraising, to help support Green Acres School. The Fall Fundraiser along with other smaller fundraisers throughout the year, help support our teachers and staff with monetary allocations for their classrooms. It also supports our Library & Multimedia Fund, Child Grant Fund, Enrichment Fund, Playground Equipment Fund and provides for committee operating expenses throughout the school year.Each year the group discusses potential events and fundraisers. Currently, our volunteers offer students the opportunity to buy popcorn on Wednesdays and attend Spirit Shop every Friday before school starts. Volunteers also help in the classrooms by being room parents, reading, photo copying for the teachers, or doing materials preparation at school and at home.A few events we are planning to this year include the Annual Family Fall Picnic, Dine-Out Nights at local restaurants, The 5th Grade Holiday Shop, Bingo Night, The Scholastic Book Fair, Ice Cream Social, Spirit Week and the Teacher's Appreciation Luncheon. There are many different volunteer opportunities available during school hours and at PTG events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does PTG stand for?A: Parent Teacher Group.Q: What is the difference between the PTA or the PTG?A: Excerpted from PTO Today: “The technical differences between a PTA and a PTO are fairly simple. The National PTA is a formal membership organization headquartered in Chicago with a 105-year history of working for children. Local groups that choose to belong to the PTA must pay dues to the state and national organizations and abide by state and national group rules. In return, they get member benefits, and they get a voice in the operations of the larger organization. The National PTA maintains a Washington, D.C., lobbying office, and most state PTAs advocate at their respective state capitals, as well. The PTA carefully protects its name, so that in theory only dues-paying members of the group can call themselves a PTA.PTO, on the other hand, is a more generic term. It generally represents the thousands of groups that choose to remain independent of the PTA. The acronym PTO is the most popular name, but other common monikers include PCC, PTG, and HSA. These are most often single-school groups that operate under their own bylaws and by and large concern themselves with the goings-on at their building or in their town only.”Q: Do I have to pay to be a member?A: No. The Green Acres PTG does not charge any dues to be a member.Q: Who can be a part of the PTG?A: The Green Acres Parent Teacher Group is open to all parents and guardians of school children at Green Acres School; all teachers, aides, and administrative staff; and the Principal and Assistant Principal of Green Acres School.Q: I work during the day, are there other volunteer opportunities available?A: YES! We have lots of volunteer opportunities during the day, evenings and on your own time at home as well.Q: Is meeting attendance a requirement of joining the PTG?A: No! Meeting attendance is not required to become a part of our group. We have lots of event volunteers and committee chair people who do not attend meetings.Q: Can I vote if I do not attend meetings?A: Unfortunately, no. To be a voting member of our group you need to attend meetings and not miss more than three excused meetings for the school year. Q: What if I can't attend meetings, but have an idea or concern I'd like to raise.A: Please email GreenAcresPTG@gmail.com or speak with the current PTG President. They will add your concern or idea to the next meeting's agenda. We try to work with all parent volunteers to bring our concerns and ideas to the group.Q: Do I have to pay dues to be a member of the Green Acres PTG?A: No, you do not, but you must attend the meetings in order to become a voting member. To be a voting member you must attend the September meeting and you can only miss up to 3 meetings for the school year. To be excused from the meeting you must email a PTG Board Member.
