About the PTA: PTA does a lot throughout the year to help support students and teachers. We help out with vision screenings, reflections, spirit week, maturation, decorating the school for special occasions, STEM Fair, Teacher Appreciation Week, SEP’s, the Fun Run, a school gift, and more. Most of these things would not happen without the help of the PTA. Not only do we provide volunteers for these events, but we also fund some of them. In order for the PTA to do all the things that we love to do, we need your help. We would love to have you help make these events happen. Join the PTA!

Volunteering: Joining the PTA is just $5, but that money doesn’t go to us, it just helps the PTA function at a local, state, and national level. Some events like vision screenings and the fun run, we are helping out and many volunteers are needed, but other events like Reflections and Teacher Appreciation Week. These activities are particular to PTA and are run by PTA’s across the nation.

Our monthly meetings are used to plan these events. Come join us to find out what’s happening in our school, get to know the principal and his staff along with finding out about all the ways we can volunteer in our school. We would love your input!

If you aren’t able to attend meetings or volunteer your time in person, there are other ways you can still help the PTA.

Take home projects: We need to stuff bags and make posters for; maturation, STEM FAIR, Teacher appreciation and Christmas. These can be done at home. We do have a timeline when they need to be done, but you can still participate. We need all the help we can get.

Donations: During some of our events we send out an email asking for a donation of food items or small prizes, snacks etc. SEP’s and Teacher Appreciation Week are some examples of these times when we ask for these kinds of items. Your donation helps make our budget go farther. So, make sure to get on our email list.

Easy Funding Opportunities: If you shop at Smith’s grocery store, Amazon, buy box tops items, or coke products. This is another way you could be helping the PTA. All you need to do is connect your accounts to the Franklin PTA so we can receive those funds.The best part about all these opportunities to help is that you were going to shop anyways. So, thank you for helping out.

We love to do all the things listed above, and so many more but we can’t do it without you. Through volunteers and donations you can work with us to make them all happen.

Passive Fundraising Opportunities
