The Green Acres Parent Teacher Group is open to all parents and guardians of school children at Green Acres School; all teachers, aides, and administrative staff; and the Principal and Assistant Principal of Green Acres School. Everyone is welcome to attend our monthly meetings and to become a voting member. Please attend the September meeting to learn more. You can also refer to our bylaws for more information. We have many activities and events to look forward to throughout the year. Our PTG is very busy working to provide outstanding support through volunteerism and fundraising, to help support Green Acres School. The Fall Fundraiser along with other smaller fundraisers throughout the year, help support our teachers and staff with monetary allocations for their classrooms. It also supports our Library & Multimedia Fund, Child Grant Fund, Enrichment Fund, Playground Equipment Fund and provides for committee operating expenses throughout the school year. Each year the group discusses potential events and fundraisers. Currently, our volunteers offer students the opportunity to buy popcorn on Wednesdays and attend Spirit Shop every Friday before school starts. Volunteers also help in the classrooms by being room parents, reading, photo copying for the teachers, or doing materials preparation at school and at home. A few events we are planning to this year include the Annual Family Fall Picnic, Dine-Out Nights at local restaurants, The 5th Grade Holiday Shop, Bingo Night, The Scholastic Book Fair, Ice Cream Social, Spirit Week and the Teacher's Appreciation Luncheon. There are many different volunteer opportunities available during school hours and at PTG events. If you are interested in volunteering at school with the PTG, please speak with any one of our PTG officers or email us at [email protected]
Anyone interested in being on our email list will receive meeting reminders as well as other reminders throughout the year about upcoming PTG sponsored events. You can add your email to the attendance list before the meeting or email us and we’ll add you to the list. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for improving our Parent Teacher Group please email or call one of the officers.
