WHY JOIN THE PTA?
Joining the PTA is a way to show your support for the teachers, staff, and students. Support can come in many forms, and joining the PTA doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment. The PTA has 3 types of members:
PTA Board Officers - Meet monthly and operate the business of the PTA
PTA Volunteers - Volunteer their time when they are able and want to, no commitment
PTA Members - No commitments, the membership fee helps, and the show of numbers shows our support (this is all you’re signing up for by joining)
The PTA has helped the school and everyone using the membership fees and other fundraisers such as Yogurtland, Apex Fun Run, Sees Candy sales, Bingo, and many others. Some examples are:
Trunk-or-Treat event
Spring Carnival
Multi-cultural celebration
Movie Night
Lunch tables for the students
6th grade promotion ceremony
Teacher Appreciation gifts, lunches and teas
Weller digital sign
Upgraded Multi-Use Room sound system
Afterschool popsicles for students
JOIN THE PTA TODAY
There are no commitments by joining, you are just showing your support by being a member and donating your membership fee. Anything more you are able and willing to do or give is your choice.
Membership fee is $20 per family, which includes all of your students and their parents/guardians. The PTA is a 501(c)(3) organization so the membership fee and additional donations are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS.
Please fill out this membership form and send it into the school to your student’s teacher or drop it by the office with the $20 membership fee. You can also join through our Totem page if you prefer. We also always accept membership registrations at our events, just find our table or one of the PTA officers.
We are always looking for volunteers to help us run our events. After you’ve joined the PTA, fill out this form and let us know what you’re interested in volunteering for and we’ll be in touch!
BENEFITS
Beyond the support you’re showing, here are some of the benefits you receive from your membership:
Receive regular newsletters of updates regarding the PTA
