PTA Volunteer Opportunities:

 

PTA is still looking for some assistance – after school curriculum coordinator is REALLY needed.  If you are a family whose child(ren) benefit form extra curricular activities @ Irvington, this opportunity is for you!  It’s not a huge time commitment; we just need one person to:

-         Put together the after school offerings in an easy readable form three times per school year (September’s offerings are already done)

-         Develop a form for signing kids in + out of PTA parent sponsored classes (a one time deal)

-         Keep an eye on the snack cabinet – when it gets low, ask the next parent on the list to make a Costco run (list is already put together)

-         Evaluate any new after school offerings + answer any related inquiries
