he
PTA organizes many events every school year. These events are
organized and run by committees of volunteers which ensure their
success. The following list is designed to give you important
information about:
- The goal of each committee
- When during the year the committee is typically active
- Type type of event the committee sponsors
There
are 3 event types included in the list below, which are:
- Event with students
- Meetings without students
- Virtual (volunteers work when and where they choose)
It
is the goal of the PTA to have 2 or more chair-people for each
committee as well as a sufficient number of other volunteers to
ensure the overall success of the event.
Please
take a look at the list below and consider volunteering for any of
the available committees. Remember, if everyone volunteered even 2
hours of time a school year, everything below could be accomplished
and a whole lot more.
If
you have any questions about the committees, please contact any
member of the PTA Board. Contact information is available at
http://www.boghthillspta.org/p/contact-us.html
NOTE: Not every event runs each school year.
If you are interested in volunteering to help with any of these events, please contact us.
