✅ PTA Is...
- Fun! You'll meet other parents and staff and work together to support Southern Elementary.
- Flexible. You can devote as much or as little time as you wish — every contribution counts.
- For everyone. Parents, teachers, grandparents, and community members are all welcome.
❌ PTA Is NOT...
- Just fundraising. We focus on two big events — Fall Booster Glow Run and Spring Carnival. No constant selling.
- A huge time commitment. Volunteer to make copies, pick up a gift card, or just stay informed — all levels matter.
- Expensive. After your $7 membership fee, there is no requirement to give money to PTA.
