Join Us as a PTO Chair
Want to help but not sure where to start? Check out our Chair positions for the 2024/2025 School Year! Chair positions will be responsible for completing the following events/tasks.
Here's how it works. We will give you a budget using PTO funds, a template and tools of how it was done in the past, but give you the freedom to complete it your way! Chair positions will have one board member as their point of contact and give additional help as needed. This is a great way to make a meaningful difference with a known time commitment. Grab some friends and sign up together as Co-Chairs to make it even more fun! Please email GavilanPeakPTO@gmail.com to learn more or sign up.
