Volunteer with the PTA
The Welch PTA is an entirely volunteer organization. We welcome the ideas, time and talents of everyone-moms, dads, grandparents, siblings, or friends. No matter what your schedule, there are many ways to participate either in the classroom, in the media center, at special events or even from the comfort of your home on the couch in front of the TV!
If you would
like to be contacted whenever a volunteer need arises, please join our Welch PTA Yahoo Group. Once you are a
member, you can expect to receive periodic emails from the PTA with news and reminders about upcoming events
and volunteer needs.
If you have a special talent and/or have an idea for a new project at the school, please Contact Us!
Current Volunteer Needs
The following classrooms are still in need of a Room Representative: Ms. Nelson, Ms. Grindle, Ms. Cruise and Ms. Shaw. Please contact Kristen Rubenstein or Elaine Eason for more information or if you are interested in helping in one of those classrooms..
The PTA is looking for people to be on a Grant Writing Committee. There are a lot of charitable organizations that give money to schools like Welch, but we need someone who can write the grant requests in the proper manner to help us win the grants and money for the school.
