The PTA is for everyone. Specifically, we are in need of people to serve on these committees:
- Advocacy Committee: Provides representation in community; encourages action to strengthen partnerships and capital improvement.
- Caring & Support Committee: Coordinates school volunteers and responds to urgent situations affecting ABES families to help provide meals and other support in time of need.
- Communications Committee: Facilitates internal and external communications about school events and achievements.
- Fundraising Committee: Identifies and implements opportunities to raise money and solicit in-kind donations to enhance school programs and operations.
- Special Events Committee: Plans and executes school social events including dances and works with school staff to provide PTA support to school-wide events such as Literacy Night, STEM night, etc.
- School Spirit Committee: Promotes school pride at athletic and other events; organizes Spirit Week, Teacher Appreciation Week, etc.
