- Translators
Are you available to translate PA newsletters / surveys from English into another language? Or can you provide translation during some of
our monthly PA General Membership meetings?
- Holiday Shop Committee (Lead: Eric Jankstrom)
Running for 3 days in mid-Decmeber, our annual Holiday Shop is the PA's biggest event of the year! Parent volunteers are needed to decorate and set up the space
in the library, and assist with running the shop and helping kids pick out gifts for their loved ones.
- School Yard Renovation committee (Lead: Hiroko Nishimura / Laura Jankstrom)
Collect petition signatures, reach out to DOE and local representatives, and prepare documentation to make our case for improvements to the school courtyard.
- Registering the PA as a Charitable Organization
Help with the paperwork for making our PA a tax-exempt charitable organization with 501(c)(3) status. This will make all donations to the PA tax-deductible and make us eligible for additional funding sources.
- PA Website (Lead: Masha Maizel / Nurdin Nurmanbetov)
Help with website maintenance and design, or develop additional content to enhance the website.
Even if you have no technical skills, anyone with ideas on how to improve the website is urged to join our Website Committee!
- Community Engagement
Help us come up with ideas for community-building events and activities. How can the PA best reach all the parents and make them feel engaged/involved?
- Fundraising
Come up with additional fundraising ideas that adhere to DOE rules and PA by-laws.
- Work on something else!
Do you have other ideas for an event, activity or PA initiative? Email the PA board!
