[quote=Anonymous]I think our PTA used to be ultra-cliquey but realized that this was actively working against their goals of recruiting more parents to come volunteer and get involved. To some degree I think it was an accident of Covid -- when our school came back from Covid, there was this small group of families who had kind of held things together through that time, and they were close to each other and had not had opportunities to forge friendships with other families, plus out of practice generally. So the first couple years after Covid were really bad in terms of them just not welcoming other parents at all, compounded by no in person meetings for a while.

We started at the school and I got frustrated with feeling like my volunteer offers were not welcomed or needed, so I stopped trying. But I have noticed in the last 6 months or so that the PTA seems to be making more of an effort. It is coinciding with the end of terms for the current officers  and I think they realized that unless they all want to have to re-up in those roles, they need to start expanding their circle to include others.[/quote]
