What PTA Is — and Isn't

✅ 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.
