Committees and How You Can Help

How can you help?

We have many opportunities for interested individuals to help the PTA. One of them is to join us. Membership is $10.00 for an individual and $20.00 for a family. Who may join the PTA? Parents, grandparents and other family members, teachers and school staff, and community members. Looking for other ways to help?

Join one of our committees:

  • Membership Drive
  • Fundraising
  • Grant writing/source locating
  • Spring Raffle
  • Teacher Appreciation
  • Reading is Fundamental
  • Student Directory

Help out with one of the following:

  • Mt. Baker Enrollment Meeting (occurs in January)
  • School Tours (begin in January; dates and times will be announced as they are made available)
  • Black History Month Assembly (assist with props, photocopying, et cetera; we begin early for February)
  • PTA Valentine’s (can be done at home)
  • Spring PTA Dinner & Meeting (occurring in March)
  • Book Fair (assist with set up/take down, cashier/help customers, help with teacher preview day)

Other ways you can help:

  • Be a room parent
  • Volunteer to bring in fresh fruits/vegetables every Friday for a month for Star Student Awards
  • Attend a field trip with your child’s class
  • Attend a school event (showing support/interest in your child’s school life is a wonderful boost to your child and therefore a wonderful help to our school community!)

If you are interested in any of the opportunities mentioned here, please contact LaKesha or talk to any Board Member. If you have a way to help that is not listed, please do not hesitate to let us know. Remember that family members can also help with these activities.
