“We really have a fantastic group of parents that are willing to put in extra effort in helping out," Grahn said. "Whenever I need something, someone always steps up to the plate.”
The PTA will be taking notations for a new board (terms are two years) at their May meeting. In addition, the organization will be requesting volunteers to chair committees for the Bulletin Board, , Hospitality, Newsletter, SIT (School Improvement Team) and Reflections.
Once a month all Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA) in the district hold meetings run by their executive boards. Parents, school principles and teachers attend to discuss issues from what snack to serve at a fundraiser to the school budget. The PTA is a volunteer organization and its members work together to make it rewarding for students.
During the Academy Street PTA meetings, the Honor Society provides parents with babysitting services in the school’s gym. The Academy Street PTA feels this makes it easier for parents to attend.
