2022 - 2023 Exley PTA Executive Board Nominations
The Nominating Committee is now taking nominations for the Exley PTA Executive Board for the 2023 - 2024 school year. The Executive Board is made up of seven elected officers. All Executive Board officers must be elected each year and are not eligible to serve more than two consecutive years in the same office. The slate of officers is selected by the Nominating Committee and is voted on by the general membership in March. These officers then appoint committee chairs to help run the many PTA programs during the school year. It takes many volunteers, not just executive board positions, to help plan and execute programs, fundraisers, and events. We thank you for your interest and support.
***ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1st!***

4th Grade Junior Achievement Volunteers Needed! 😃
On Friday February 3rd, we are looking for 5 fourth grade parents to volunteer to teach a Junior Achievement lesson in the classroom. This is an all day commitment. Junior Achievement is a wonderful program that helps young people learn about saving and spending money, working jobs and starting businesses. You will be given all the JA materials ahead of time to familiarize yourself with the lesson and the guidebook gives you step by step instructions. This year there will also be a 35 minute training video to help assist you. (Link will be sent via email after you sign up to volunteer) You will teach the same lesson to each class. This is a fun and unique opportunity to spend some time in your child's classroom and with the other fourth grade classes.
The Schedule for the day will be: Arrive at 9am. Rotation 1 - 9:25am to 10:10am. Rotation 2 - 10:15am to 11:00am. Rotation 3 - 11:05am to 11:45am. Lunch Break - 10:50am -12:55pm. Rotation 4 - 1:00pm to 1:45pm. Rotation 5 - 1:50pm to 2:35pm. Clean up and raptor out of the building - 2:35pm-2:45pm.
