Wembdon St George's PTA - Raising funds to help our children grow
The PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is an excellent way to bring together parents, teachers and the local community to raise money and to support the school.
The PTA provides an opportunity for everyone to work together towards a common goal. All parents, teachers and school staff can get involved even if they only have a small amount of time available. Any support is very much appreciated!
What do PTAs do?
A PTA is a Parent Teacher Association, an organisation with a mission to make the school a better place for children to learn. Wembdon St George's PTA brings together parents, teachers and children to raise funds and strengthen the school community. Money raised is usually spent on things that the school budget does not cover.
Why should I join one?
There are many reasons why you should join your PTA. From making new friends and getting to know the school environment, through to helping raise much needed funds and making a difference to the children and school community. All of these things help you grow in confidence as a parent and it feels good to know you are making a difference for your children and for generations to come.
What will be expected of me?
There is no expectation on any parent volunteer. Any amount of time you can give to the PTA will always be well received. There are a variety of ways you can get involved, from attending PTA Meetings through to volunteering at events or coordinating events. Even donating preloved items, raffle prizes or suggesting brilliant ideas are ways of getting involved. There seems to be a myth that if you get involved with your PTA you will never be able to escape! We make it clear that parents can come to our meetings to just listen and learn, or they can take a more active role if they want to, there are no set expectations.
