[quote=Anonymous]The PTA at our school does not seem cliquey — they are grateful for anyone who can pitch in to help run it. The positions that take the most time are on the Board, but there are lots of positions that don’t require a Board commitment. You can coordinate teacher appreciation, serve as an NAACP rep, coordinate bike to school day, help plan the fall festival, run the listserv …. Lots and lots of options. And you can also simply volunteer for hour-long time slots at different events. I would encourage you to get involved, OP. I am not in the Board of our PTA but do try to volunteer for as many events as possible, because if there are not parent volunteers, they can’t run them. For example, I have helped with the fall festival, volunteered at the book fair, helped with field day, helped run class parties — I’m luck to have a flexible work schedule that lets me do some daytime events. Others volunteer evenings or weekends.[/quote]
