Some of these positions can be done from home/on your own time and do not require you to be at the school during school hours.
Thank you for your continued support of the Moses PTSA! Your support has allowed us to provide outdoor tables to the school for outdoor lunch for students, supplies to the teachers, PBIS Incentives for students, Clay for all Art students, and we will provide each club supplies needed, teacher appreciation gifts, lunch to staff and help with food for the 8th Grade Picnic and MORE! Thank you for helping us to enrich the learning environment for both the students and staff!
