We’ve filled many board spots (thank you!) but we’re still looking for 1-2 volunteer coordinators. This is a vital role that helps our event leads ensure they have the volunteers they need in place to make the fun CHE events we love happen.

Our PTA is at a critical point as we plan for the 2026–2027 school year. We still have several essential Board and event lead roles open, and these positions need to be filled soon in order for many of our programs, events, and school traditions to continue next year.
If you have been thinking about getting more involved, now is the time when your help would truly make a difference.

* Set-up and clean-up support
* Help running activities like art, games, and more�
Please take a moment to RSVP and let us know how you can help by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/rFod4pFJhAjdFWPw7

Join us for our final PTA meeting of the year and a meaningful conversation with Kat Schoolland, Clinical Director of Raising Brave Kids, about pediatric anxiety and OCD—how these challenges can show up in children and how families can better support them.
We’ll also vote in the 2026–2027 PTA board members.
Come with your questions and join the discussion!
