Interested in Girl Scouts?
Come see what Girl Scouts is all about as our Service Unit (including all Mantua troops) celebrates another great year of Girl Scouts, enjoys ice cream, and cheers on the bridging troops who are moving to the next level of Scouts.
This is a great event to attend to talk to some Girl Scouts or get an idea of what it means to be part of a troop. We'd love to see you there!

PTA Volunteer Roles Needed!
 We are actively looking for volunteers to support a variety of PTA roles for the 2024-2025 school year! Most of these roles are flexible and can be done on your own time with little to no time spent in the school. These programs can't exist for our kids without the volunteers who make them happen, so we hope you can help!
Please take a look at open roles and descriptions via the link below, and reach out to the nominating committee if you have any questions. Current/past chairs and the PTA board are available to help you every step of the way!
