The FP PTA is such an essential part of our children's education.  Every year, we help our schools strive to become the best that they can with support from parent volunteers,  family-friendly programming, and donations from our families.  Unfortunately, we are in jeopardy of losing these wonderful accomplishments if we can't fill the shoes of our open board positions and the number of volunteer positions as well.   Please help us to continue to build better schools by volunteering for one of our many open positions.   If we can't fill these positions, our children will  not be able to continue to enjoy:

• School Assemblies
• Briarwood & Brooklake School Pictures
• Teacher & School Grants ( enhancements to our schools and our children's education)
• Book Fairs
• Fun nights & End of the year celebrations
• Holiday gift shop
• RMS 8th Grade Dance & Yearbook signing Breakfast & Pool Party
• HIC Trip ( Entertainment and supplies)
• RMS Talent Show
• RMS Field Day
• Graduation scholarships
• Brooklake Yearbooks
• Class Parents ( Holiday parties, fun activities)
• Much more.......

THANK YOU!
