How do I get involved?
Volunteer to help with events OAE PTA hosts many events for our students and their families throughout the school year. At least once a month! These events require the help of many volunteers. You can help by joining the planning team and/or volunteering at the event itself. These events are highlights for students and families: Bubble Run, Fall Family Dinner, Snow Ball, Spring Picnic, Donuts with your Grownups and Coin War. Send us an email or join us at a meeting to learn how you can help!
Join us at a PTA Meeting OAE PTA meets on the second Wednesday of each month, 6:00 PM, usually at a restaurant or coffee place. Children are welcome to come along. Attending meetings are not mandatory to being part of PTA. A considerable amount of our planning is through text messaging and email. OAE PTA always welcomes new members and we are excited for you to join.
Become a PTA Board Member or Planning Coordinators OAE PTA is always recruiting new board members and coordinators for specific events. Board members and coordinators play an important role, providing leadership and oversight for PTA activities. Current members will always be there to support the new members! Sponsor Event sponsoring is incredibly helpful, keeping activities free and by supporting our school. Our sponsors are recognized at our events and promotional material.
Is it okay if I only help a little bit?
Yes. Every PTA member is raising child(ren). We know life gets hectic. Many PTA members also have full-time jobs or are involved in other organizations. We appreciate all the help you're able to give. Volunteer at an event, bring something for a Teacher Appreciation Lunch, make a flier, bake a cake for Spring Picnic Cake Walk. Every bit helps!
Why be involved in PTA?
Being a member of PTA means you are part of a powerful association focused on initiatives that strengthen your child's education. Families that are engaged in their children's potential help them achieve success in school, develop social and emotional skills, and improve their mental and physical well-being. They're more likely to have high self-esteem, greater motivation, and increased confidence in their abilities.
