PTA

 

VanGorden Elementary School’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is holding our Seventh Annual Soar- A- Thon on October 7, 2022.  This year, the VanGorden Eagles are embracing the mantra “WE don’t just fly, WE soar!” and will walk together to promote strength, courage and leadership. Instilling these traits is a key component to creating an atmosphere that stands up to bullies and spreads kindness throughout.

Over 670 VanGorden students will walk together to earn funds and support their school.  With your help, this year we will expand student enrichment and make building improvements.

 

Below is a list of current positions we are hoping to fill. If you have questions or are interested in any of the positions below, please reach out to: vangordenpta@gmail.com.
 

Soar-a-Thon Committee Member

The Soar-a-Thon is our fall fund-raiser, and we are so fortunate to be able to raise funds in a fun way that our students and staff continue to be excited about year after year.  The Soar-a-Thon is currently co-chaired by two dedicated and experienced PTA members and they are looking forward to working with a group of people who share their excitement. If you are looking to be involved in a fun and important PTA activity, or if you have questions, please reach out to: vgeptavolunteers@gmail.com

Treasurer

In this position, the treasurer serves on the PTA Executive Board, attends meetings, and maintains permanent records to track unit funds and financial transactions. The treasurer prepares the annual budget for adoption by the PTA, pays all PTA bills as authorized by board or Association, prepares reports for every board and association meeting and an annual financial report. The treasurer also ensures taxes and reports required by PTA bylaws and insurance for federal/state governments are completed and submitted by the due dates. There are some PTA rules that regulate a check and balance system for the treasurer, and the treasurer must abide. 

Display Case Coordinator

From time to time, we’ll need someone to put together a display case for an upcoming event or a season. We usually steal ideas from Google. Usually the President, VP, or Committee Head will reach out to this person to come up with a plan. We have all the materials stored at school, but on occasion, this person might have to buy a supplemental item and get reimbursed by the PTA. 

Bulletin Board Coordinator

From time to time, we’ll need someone to put together a bulletin board for an upcoming event or a season. We usually steal ideas from Google. Usually the President, VP, or Committee Head will reach out to this person to come up with a plan. We have all the materials stored at school, but on occasion, this person might have to buy a supplemental item and get reimbursed by the PTA.
