Help us by joining in
We really couldn’t achieve what we do without the behind-the-scenes help that we receive. If you would like to be more involved, you can volunteer to be a helper at individual events, bring in a cake for a cake sale or simply come to events and enjoy them! There are many ways you can help and support the PTA. It doesn’t matter if you can’t help on a regular basis, ALL volunteers are welcome.
