Get to know your PTC!
Join us in the Salem Heights library for our first "in-person" PTC meeting since distance learning! Thursday May 19th, at 6:00pm.
If you would prefer to join online, Click here to join the meeting.
Every project, event and program the PTC does, only happens because of volunteers. We need your help to make these things happen. Until December volunteer opportunities are limited, but we would love to hear from you if you are willing to volunteer when things open back up.
Volunteering can be as much or as little as you want, in whatever you are interested in. You can come a little early and help set-up an event, or you could lead a whole new program, there is something for everyone.
If you are interested feel free to email us admin@salemheightsptc.org, visit our website for more info, find us on Facebook, or join our next meeting May 19th 6:00pm in the Salem Heights Library, or online: Click here to join the meeting
