- This is our 3rd year at REES!
- How Did You Start Volunteering with PTA?
- After my daughter wrapped up kindergarten, I was looking to get more involved with the school. Sarah Blazek (our former VP, Membership) reached out to me and I’m so glad that I said yes to getting involved! In my first year on the Board (2019-2020 school year), I was responsible for the Ways & Means committee and we focused on converting the Fun Run from a managed event through Boosterthon to a self-run Dance-a-thon. The end result is that we raised MORE money for River Eves, and we’ll continue as a self-managed fundraiser so that we can keep more of the monies raised for our kids and REES staff!
- Why Do You Volunteer on the PTA Board?
- To be more involved with the school as a working parent and to get to know the other parents and school administration better.
- What is Your Favorite PTA Program? Why?
- For 2019-2020, we LOVED the Dance-a-thon. It was such a fun way to move your body, learn a bunch of different dances, and the glow in the dark party at the end was AWESOME!
