 Sherman PTA - Welcome!
Sherman’s PTA is a 100% volunteer
based organization run by parents and staff. The PTA
coordinates and sponsors many community and fundraising
activities to enhance the experience of our students and
their families as they learn and grow through Sherman.
ALL families are encouraged to join
and participate in the PTA. Membership is $10 per
family and meetings are held once a month during the
school year. Through our meetings, parents find out how
they can get involved in supporting Sherman through PTA
events and activities. Everyone is encouraged to attend
these meetings to learn about and participate in the
PTA’s support efforts. If you can’t attend, meeting
minutes are circulated and the PTA officers always
welcome your comments and ideas.
The PTA is organized and led by a
group of officers who are elected by the community each
year – President, 2 Vice Presidents, Treasurer,
Secretary and Historian. Issues and topics are brought
to monthly PTA meetings for discussion and decisions are
made via votes by the membership at meetings.
Committees serve to support a focused effort of the
PTA.
Volunteer Opportunities
We have many wonderful activities and events planned
for this school year to look forward to. In order to
assure the success and smooth running of Sherman’s
activities and events, we need to come together as a
community to provide support and volunteer! The
PTA would like to find out more about our community of
volunteers. We understand that people have various
schedules, talents, interests, etc. So to get involved,
