 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.
Meetings - PTA Meetings will
generally be the second Tuesday of each month with a
few exceptions (see calendar on front page).
No meeting in December. Be sure to check out the
calendar for the exact dates. Meetings start in
the Teachers' Lounge at 6:15pm.
