Join the 2024-2025 pta board

Joining the PTA board is a wonderful way to use your leadership skills for the benefit of our entire Aldama community! We need you! Our goal is to have a group of volunteers on the PTA Board who represent as many grade levels as possible. That way, we will best represent the whole student community. Plus, it makes it easier to pass on knowledge about running the PTA in future years. According to our bylaws (the rules we follow as a non-profit) our board must have at least a President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Is that you? We think that’s you! Our election will take place at the Association Meeting on May 16, 2024.
