Welcome Letter From AAS PTA Board
Dear families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
We are excited to get you involved in the PTA so that together we can make this a successful year for all our students. The PTA will be forming volunteer committees to organize activities and events. We will also need volunteers to do discrete tasks, such as translations, flyers, etc.
Please fill out this volunteer survey! Let us know what skills you have and in which ways you are interested in helping out, even if it is only for one specific thing.
We ask that each parent/guardian fills out the form separately (even if they filled this out last year). New year - new opportunities! https://forms.gle/phEt8ejcDcVVHwVPA
For more information, please email AASptaboard@gmail.com. For those that already filled it out, THANK YOU!
Warmly,
