How Can You Help?
You can...
- Attend PTA meetings to stay informed and volunteer to help at events
- Watch for the Amazon Wish Lists which will help our classroom parties and teacher appreciation events.
- Attend dine-out nights and skate nights that give back to the school!
Southeast Day at the Park Hill Clothing Center
October 5th from 1:00-3:00pm
The Park Hill PTA Clothing Center always needs volunteers to help hang clothes for shoppers! Each school will be responsible for one time slot during the school year. The Southeast Day will be from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5th. Students are welcome to help sort. Please plan to attend with your student as students will need to be chaperoned by an adult. Feel free to sign up for just an hour or stay for 2 hours! Students are also welcome to take clothes home if they see anything they like. Please click on The Sign Up Genius link below and scroll down to the correct date.
If that date and time doesn't work, there are other options to volunteer throughout the year as well.
Thanks so much for helping us support the Park Hill PTA Clothing Center and the kids!
Soup for the Staff
Please help us show the staff our appreciation on October 23rd with a meal. This is a very long day for everyone with a full school day followed by conferences. Please click the link and contribute if you are able. We would like donations at the school by 2pm to make sure everyone has time to squeeze in a bite. Thank you!
Staff Favorites!
Want to show your appreciation for Southeast staff members? Here are a few of their favorite things!
Reflections!
National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
The 2024-2025 Reflections theme: Accepting Imperfection
We need volunteers! Do you want to help with this event?
Want to be a judge? We need volunteer judges for film production, dance choreography, music composition, literature, visual arts, and photography.
Please e-mail Ginger to help volunteer!
Spirit Wear
This year, Southeast PTA will NOT be purchasing t-shirts for all students and staff. Please stay tuned for spirit wear options for purchase.
