OPENINGS:
The PTA Board and other volunteers will support you with any information or assistance that you need. You will be given guidance for all of the roles listed.
Thank you in advance for helping to make Harrison an amazing community!
Talent Show Coordinators (2 to 3 people)
Organize a Talent Show for the students to participate in if they choose (PreK-6th). In the past, the event was always in February; however, this can be changed! Students can choose any appropriate activity to showcase. Event typically takes place on a weekend, but again that is not set in stone either. Coordinators would be expected to arrange the acts, put together a program, rehearse with the students (1-2 times), and host the event at PVS. Have fun & be creative!
