Thanks to the Denman community’s generous donations of time, food and funds, our PTSA was able to exceed our goal for this event! The funds raised will help support the things our students love about Denman Middle School, such as lunchtime club activities and community events.
Let’s keep it going! Join us for the PTSA general association meeting on Wednesday, September 17, via Google Meet from 6:30 pm to 7:45 pm. We’ll be sharing what the PTSA is working on, including community events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support Denman through fundraisers, from small GroupRaise sales to our impactful Denman Pride Fund!
Want to know more about the community at Denman? Volunteering on the PTSA Executive Board is a great way to learn. No experience is required!
We are seeking a VP of Community for this school year. This role helps get the word out to our community—especially Spanish-speaking families—and make them feel welcome. It's similar to this CA PTA Job Description.
We also invite participation in committees, which are small groups that help with PTSA operations:
Volunteer Committee: be notified first of volunteer needs and think of people who could help
Membership Committee: promote the benefits of PTSA membership
Nominating Committee: in January and February, identify and recruit Executive Board members for the following school year
Budget Committee: estimate how much we'll raise and prioritize our spending
Fundraising Committee: brainstorm, solicit donations, or plan/staff fundraising events
Grants Committee: review staff program grant applications several times a year and vote on whether to fund them
Financial Review Committee: twice a year in a short meeting, ensure that the Financial Reviewer examined our financial and legal records properly
