We are looking for people interested in finding speakers, workshops, and programs for upcoming PTA meetings and events.  We seek creativity for PMHS and Pelham PTA Council (PTAC) programming.

Current efforts include Black History Month in February, workshops and our March PTA meeting, Earth Day in April, Graduation, and Hispanic Heritage Month next September, among other projects.  Next year we will once again organize a Home & History Tour.

Do YOU have other ideas, skills, or interests to support our students? We need your voice, your energy, and your support as do PTAC and Amplify Pelham (see below)!

One hour? Once a month? One event? 

Helping the PTA and our school is a great way to connect with and meet caring and committed people.

Maybe? Yes!?  Please contact me.

I want to know more about open positions.

It's for our kids.

When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.
