Volunteers are the heart of the PTO. Without volunteers, we can't provide support for our teachers, staff and students.
We offer a variety of activities to the students, which means there are also a variety of ways to get involved. Want to pick a single time slot as available? We have options for you. Want to run a committee? We also have options for you. Available during the day? In the evening? Do you need to bring younger siblings along? We have options for all of these.
Most important - get involved! We need you!
