PTA Opportunities for the 2020/2021 School Year!

VP of Diversity and Inclusion– As District 39 continues to put more emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion programs and education, we are looking for a Central School parent to join the PTA Exec Board to help support this important initiative.

Garden –  Central has an incredible garden, thanks to the help of our volunteers! If you are interested in spending some time outdoors and helping to keep our garden amazing, please join us!

Yearbook – we’d love more team members to help with the Central yearbook plan this year! Considering the limited opportunities to be in school, we do not expect it to be a big commitment!

Check back for more volunteer opportunities soon!

If interested, please contact president@centralschoolpta.org for more information.
