Get Involved
We are 100% dependent on family volunteers. If we want to be able to keep hosting fun events and supporting our classrooms, we need your help!
PTA hosted events and sponsored school services that don't have volunteers step up to run them will have to be cancelled. We've seen our volunteer numbers drop steeply in the last few years. Come help us build our community and have some fun while you're at it! Whether you can spare an hour to help setup an event, pass out popcorn, or would like to step into a board position, everyone is welcome and appreciated.
Do you like to meet people and help throw fun events? Our biggest need at the moment is a VP of Fundraising. Curious? Reach out to president@cottagelakepta.org for more information.
More information can be found on the Cottage Lake PTA website.
