Join the PTA or the PTA Board
Why should I join the PTA?
PTA strengthens connections between your family, your child’s classmates and their families and staff to build a thriving and inclusive community for everyone. We want a diverse membership base that reflects all of the families and needs of students at Brimhall.
All are welcome at PTA meetings. You do not need to be a member to attend meetings, but you do need to be a member to vote in new board members and vote on all final decisions.
Together we can do a lot of good. Join us!
Why should I join the PTA Board?
Interested in joining the board or just curious about what the positions entail? PTA Board positions are elected in May of every year. Positions will be voted on at the May PTA meeting. Board members meet monthly plus any event planning.
Together we can do a lot of good.
Have questions or want to volunteer? Email us at brimhallptaboard@gmail.com to learn more. The current board is happy to share more information about each of their roles. No previous volunteering with the PTA is required! New faces and voices are always welcome at the table. Each position can take as little or as much time as you can give.
