As we begin planning for next school year, we are looking to build a strong, supportive PTA Board for Sabal Palm Elementary 💖
Our PTA has been able to do so many amazing things for our students and staff this year—but we cannot continue without your help.
🌸OPEN BOARD POSITIONS:
👑 President
💡 VP of Ways & Means (Fundraising)
🎉 VP of Event Coordination
🤝 VP of Volunteer Coordination
💰 Treasurer
📝 Secretary
*We will be voting for these positions at our next PTA meeting on May 13th! We hope to see you there!
🚨 IMPORTANT:
The roles of President, Treasurer, and Secretary are REQUIRED positions.
Without these roles filled before next school year, our PTA cannot operate meaning we would not be able to:
❌ Host events
❌ Support teachers and staff
❌ Fund student programs and celebrations
💖 But here’s the good news… you will NOT be doing this alone.
We are building a team focused on:
✔️ Shared responsibilities
✔️ Better communication
✔️ Realistic expectations
✔️ Supporting each other
✨ No experience needed—just a willingness to help and be part of something special!
Even if you’re unsure, have questions, or just want to learn more—we would LOVE to talk with you 💕
