PTA-Organized Clubs
for Fall
PTA-organized clubs will be starting in October. In order for a club to be
offered, it must have a PTA member volunteer willing to coordinate and
receive PTA Board approval. If there is a club that you want to see for your
child, please consider volunteering to make it happen!
Volunteers who offer to run a PTA-sponsored club shall receive one free
student registration per session of that club.
