Many hands make light work! The PTA runs solely on volunteers - the more parents and teachers that are involved, the less work it is on any one person. We have several positions open and we need your help! Please take a moment to review the descriptions below and see if any of these positions would be a good fit for you!
- Auction: This is the big PTA spring fundraiser and part of our Spring Carnival. This committee would be responsible for reaching out to the community to obtain items to auction off during the fundraiser.
- Programs: PTA supports and plans many after school programs for Schell students (STEM, robotics, coding, drama, chess, etc). These are programs that are run by outside organizations. This committee is responsible for working with the principal to plan, coordinate with the outside organizations, recruit volunteers, and advertise these programs for Schell. Much of this work can be done through email and phone calls. Some time at the school may be required.
- Reflections: Each year the National PTA provides a theme (given by the State) and students are encouraged to produce art based on this theme. The art form can be paintings, photography, poetry, dance, etc. The reflections committee is responsible for communicating the theme to students and parents (through flyers and additional marketing), accepting the applications, setting up judges for the competition and submitting Schell winners to the council level competition. This event occurs in the fall.
- Council Delegate: This individual is responsible for attending Plano PTA Council meetings and reporting back to the Schell board at our Monthly meetings. This requires approximately 2 hours each month, but you are subject to the council and board schedule. This could be a shared position.
- Grade level room parent: This individual is responsible for working with the Volunteer Coordinator and grade level team leader to plan and implement class parties. There are three parties throughout the year: Winter, Friendship, and End-of-Year party.
- VP Ways and Means: This is a board position that oversees the many fundraisers we host at Schell.
If you are interested in any of these positions, please email president@schellpta.org for more information!
