PTA Committee Chairs Needed for the 2008–2009 School Year

Even as this school year is finishing up, the PTA is already preparing for the 2008 – 2009 school year. We currently have a few committee chair positions open. Please consider lending your time and talent as an Amherst PTA Committee Chair. Don’t miss this opportunity to become involved in a great organization dedicated to the success of children and the support of our teachers and staff. PTA-sponsored activities help to enrich your child’s educational experience while providing a connection between the schools and the community.
