Volunteering
There are many opportunities to volunteer, whether it is a few hours a week or a few hours over the course of the entire school year. Any contribution is a huge help and makes a positive impact in the students’ experience at AHES. All you need to volunteer is a little bit of time and a lot of heart!
Don’t feel comfortable committing to a position? No problem! We always need extra hands to help out at events or in classroom parties. The PTA and Room Parents will send out emails throughout the year regarding these types of volunteer opportunities.

Become a PTA Member!

Your participation is crucial to the PTA’s mission of nurturing a supportive community where students and families can thrive both at school and at home. As a PTA member, not only are you contributing financially to the PTA, but you have the ability to cast votes at PTA meetings and influence the decisions being made. You are not required to attend meetings or serve on a committee, but we strongly encourage participation even if you can only spare a few hours.
-
A PTA membership is $12.40, and must be renewed every year. AHES PTA receives about $5 from each membership. The money raised from PTA memberships goes towards various enrichment programs and campus improvements. Everyone in your family is eligible to register as a member so everyone can be involved!
