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 BCS PTA
sponsors community events during the year and has many year-long
projects including the PTA Reading Challenge, Teacher Appreciation Week,
and a school-wide telephone directory. PTA also provides volunteer
support for lunch and recess duty, 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), Chinook Books (September), our annual fall festival,
Spook-A-Rama (October), and our school-wide rummage sale (June).
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!
