VOLUNTEER OPPOTUNITES

The Parents’ Organization coordinates the volunteer efforts of the parents at TSA. Volunteers are needed to run the Organization, participate on projects, as well as participate on committees of the TSA Board of Directors. Parents are always needed to teach special skills, chaperone school events, drive to outings, help teachers, make phone calls and participate in fund-raising events, just to name a few. No matter your circumstances or talents, there is always a place for you as a TSA Parent Volunteer!

FUND-RAISING

Parents’ Org fund raising includes funds raised through 50/50 raffles and flower sales at TSA events, Kroger Plus Card, Goodsearch/Goodshop, holiday gift wrapping and many others. The PO is always looking for creative fundraising ideas, so the input of supportive parents is important.

Funds raised through the PO support school activities.

MISSION STATEMENT

“To promote consistent and effective communication between parents, teachers, friends, administrators and students of TSA; encourage volunteerism by parents in both the educational process and school activities, and aid teachers and administrators by supporting the educational and artistic programs, activities and special events at TSA.”
