Hey, Bengal parents and grandparents, what’s your passion? Do you love books, biking, outdoor fun, crafts, or organizing? How about science, chess or just being involved? The Boggess PTA needs YOU! There are several open positions with our PTA, from chairing an event to assisting teachers. Sound like fun? Find open PTA board and member positions and volunteer for positions that catch your eye. You’ll love it and our kids will, too!
Here are a few open roles that might interest you:
Specials Coordinator: Do you love art? Music? PE? Be the specials teachers' contact with PTA, and help facilitate communication and encourage volunteers when needed! Volunteers help with tasks like organizing, cutting, laminating, and anything that will allow the teachers' time to be spent with our kids.
After School Program Coordinator: Discover and book weekly after school programs for all students to enrich their education and hands-on experience with curriculum not usually offered in regular classes. This year we've had science, chess, dance, book club, and more offered Wednesdays after school. You are not required to attend these programs. Your role will be to assist by facilitating and communicating with vendors.
Fun Run Committee Chair: Generate revenue to directly benefit our kids via Boggess PTA! Our Fun Run fundraiser happens in the spring. Be the one to coordinate with vendors and organize activities and volunteers. This one's a school favorite. It's always exciting and successful!
