The Parent Teacher Association is a volunteer organization which strives to provide a sense of extended community and to support the school, teachers, parents and each individual child. PTA hopes that when each child comes to school they have an equal opportunity to be successful learners. The PTA sponsors community events during the year and has many year-long projects including the PTA Reading Challenge, Teacher’s Appreciation Week, and a school-wide telephone directory. PTA also provides volunteer support for lunch and recess duty, newsletter assembly, room parents, garden support and special events.
PTA + VOLUNTEERS = ALL ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND FUNDS FOR BEVERLY CLEARY SCHOOL
The PTA board meets monthly and general membership meetings are held bi-monthly.
Our fundraising activities: PTA funds its programs through various school-based activities. The main fundraisers include the selling of scrip and magazine subscriptions (year-long), gift wrap and Chinook Books (September) and our annual fall festival, Spook-A-Rama (October). Periodically, PTA will have other fundraising events for specific purchases.
Volunteering: PTA organizes many of the volunteers who help staff the school. You can volunteer to help in the classroom, cafeteria, playground, office, and/or in the garden. Volunteers are also needed for all fundraising activities and the monthly events, authors' tea, reading challenge or special events. Can't get to school, but still want to help? There are needs for parents to do design work, sign making and computer help as well. Sign-up opportunities are available year-round. Complete your volunteer survey now!
