Written by Trip PTA   

PTA is a wonderful way to be involved with your child’s school. We are recruiting for our upcoming school year. Please check out all areas of interest. PTA-sponsored events can only be successful when many people volunteer to help!

Here is the current list of committees. (This information is also available in a downloadable format.) Please read each and sign up at the next PTA event to be a volunteer. You may also contact us to volunteer, but please be sure to include your name, email address, and phone number(s).
