Volunteers are still needed for OPEN POSITIONS:
Reflections:
Have you been looking for a PTA role but didn’t want to commit to a full year? Or maybe you’re nervous about taking on a position and not getting enough guidance? If so, consider the Reflections chair!! Reflections is a PTA nationwide program encouraging interest in the arts. As the chair, you will advertise the program at school, collect the student submissions, submit to PTACHC, order awards, and distribute to the students. Generally, this lasts between September through December with most work done at the end with the student submissions. Prior year chairs have left a detailed timeline by month that you can follow. There are several prior year chairs at the school that can answer questions or offer support. Interested?? Email clesreflections@gmail.com with any questions!
Green Committee Co-Chair:
Are you interested in helping our school community be a little greener? Well then our Green Committee is the place for you! You don't have to be a master gardener or an expert on global warming - you just need to have a desire to help our community and our environment! This committee's mission is fluid and open to new ideas. Currently, we help maintain the conservation landscapes around the school by planning a fall and spring cleanup - we have a lot of help from students, families, and scouts to make this happen. We also partner with Crayola to collect used markers and mail them off twice a year to be recycled. Finally, we help plan CLES' Green Night with speakers and activities for both parents and students. If you might be interested in learning more about this exciting CLES PTA chair position please reach out to clesgreencommittee@gmail.com and let us know!
