First year Treasurer needed!
The Treasurer is a key board member. Responsibilities include writing checks, keeping the books, and giving financial reports and reimbursements. This is a 1.5 year commitment- we need a first year Treasurer to shadow our incumbent, and then take over the reigns for the 26-27 school year. Please contact anyone on the board for more info. As with all PTA roles, you will be supported by a kind and helpful team of volunteers.
