Join us for a mixer and school updates from Mrs. Parenzin from 5:00-5:30 PM, then stay for our Association Meeting from 5:30-6:30 PM.
We’ll discuss how Howl-apalooza funds can support our students and classrooms, and hear more about events and programs planned throughout the year. Attend in the school library or online. Find the link in an ACE PTA email just before the event.
Everyone is welcome. Eligible members can vote. New members become eligible after 30 days.
Need volunteer fingerprinting? It will be available at ACE from 4 to 6 PM that day for $32.
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.
Email AlderCreekElementary.PTA@gmail.com or fill out our volunteer interest form.
