ACE PTA events happen because families help behind the scenes.
Volunteers help with setup, cleanup, supplies, decorations, check-in, planning, and event stations. Some jobs are at school. Some can be done from home.
You do not need PTA experience. Many behind-the-scenes jobs do not require Category 2 clearance.
Even small engagement can make a difference.
The more families help in small ways, the more ACE PTA can do for our students, teachers, and school community.
You do not have to volunteer to join ACE PTA, but if you can help this year, we would love to hear from you.
