Accepting Nominations for PTA Board 2023-24

Did you know that the current PTA board has no fathers/father figures in elected positions? We have one Dad in the entire Exec Board and no, we are not counting Principal Hamm.  We would love to balance our board better and inviting all, and especially our dads, to join the PTA board!

  

This is your chance to lend your voice and participate in the meetings that decide on PTA funding for in-school and after-school clubs and student activities, classroom teacher grants, field trips, community events for Griffin families and more! 

 

Nominations Committee is actively seeking individuals for:

Treasurer

Secretary

Financial Secretary

Parliamentarian 

 

 

Additionally,  we will be looking to find volunteers to join Committees like Website, Hospitality, Audit, Communications, Grade 8 Promotions and more to help support our PTA officers and not worry about attending the meetings if you don't want to.

 

Many extra-curricular club leaders will be moving on to the high school, so we'll need parents to step up and lead these clubs. Current 6th grader and incoming 6th grader parents are best positioned for these roles.

 

It may sound crazy but no previous experience is needed for many PTA officer roles although we do need your commitment and time. CAPTA offers wonderful training videos and we have a seasoned board to guide you so come join us or suggest that friend's name whose enthusiasm or advocacy impressed you.

  • Monthly Executive Board meetings  (held on Friday mornings at RMS after drop-off, run for 60 mins, involves overseeing and managing PTA business between association meetings)
