[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The secret lies in working independently. I enjoy volunteering for the PTA, but I limited myself to attending the occasional meeting and very much working behind the scenes. Need someone to set up or clean up or count money or reorganize the PTA storage area? Sign me up. I'm an excellent, independent worker bee type. Teachers need help, too. I've been the on call mom who can be relied upon to supplement class supplies, snacks, find something odd for a project, etc. Not everything has to be done via PTA. I served as a teacher helper - filing, copying, cutting out display pieces, all outside of the class. One day a week for an hour. Do what makes you happy, on your time, on your schedule. Say no. Realize that there will be times in your life that are busier with your own family; there may be entire school year where you have no time or interest or energy to do a thing. That's ok.
