We're the Brand new PTA!
All new leadership from the ground up. Brand new ideas—YOURS.
We’re living in a post-lockdown, mask-up society. And whether we agree or disasgree with the policies, we’re pushing politics and personal opinions out of the way to focus on what really matters—the kids at Abby Reinke.
Here for the kids
COVID, lockdowns, and distance learning affected all of us in different ways. We’d like to put that behind us and really amp up the donations, the membership, and the fun. #hereforthekids
We need active members
We’re starting this school year with only 15 PTA volunteers, and we need a lot more. Our goal this year is to directly benefit the children with events and programs that are legitimately awesome. We all have kids and stuff to do. We also legitimately need your help.
FREE REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW!!
In-person events are BACK at Abby Reinke!!
Our newest annual tradition is Winterland—a holiday themed movie night under the Abby Reinke stars. Bring the family, some blankets & chairs, and we’ll have food (to purchase) and the magic. Or bring your own food & drinks!
December 10th at 5pm on the Abby Reinke lawn. You may buy food add-ons to your ticket when you register. There will be NO in-person food sales.
Four shirt designs to choose from—stuff for kids and adults alike. The first 50 people who add PTA Membership to their cart and buy Spirit Wear in the same transaction will get a $15 discount on their order!
What kind of programs & events does the PTA do?
Movie’s after school? That’s the PTA.
Room Parents? You guessed it—PTA.
Candy Sales ? Yup. PTA.
Book Fairs, Harvest Festivals, Spring Flings, Talent Shows, Fun Runs, Scholarships—also the PTA. Did you know there's a garden on campus as well? PTA.
A better question may be what DOESN'T the PTA do.
How can I get involved?
You can start with committing to some time, telling us what special skills you may have, and/or donating some money to support the programs & events. We'll have virtual and in-person meetings at times that work for busy parents. Membership gives you discounts on events & programs throughout the year and lets you vote on things discussed at the meetings if you choose to attend.
We need parents to volunteer
Got a few hours a week? Awesome! You’ve been hand-selected to help. Any amount of time that you can commit to—we’ll take it. All of the great ideas we’ve got are powered by parents’ time. And if you can only do 15 minutes a day after the kids go to sleep, we’ll take that too.
We want to know your talents
We have a school filled with not only amazing children, but talented parents as well. Tell us what you can do! Do you own a business or have a service? Are you a graphic designer? Project manager? Set decorator, fashion designer, event planner, photographer, dog trainer, ANYTHING. We’d love to get qualified people to help fill certain needs.
We want to know your next great idea
We’ve got a vision of making the 2021-2022 school year one filled with magical memories. To do that, we’re starting from scratch, working with the principal to help further her vision, and we’d love your input. Want to make your child’s school year amazing? Let’s make it happen. Together.
Meetings vs Volunteering
At meetings, you can vote on initiatives, but you can still help without setting foot in a single meeting. Just let us know that you’re able to donate, and we’ll coordinate that time around YOUR schedule. It’s also totally valid to become a member without going to a meeting.
The Fine Print
Volunteers aren’t allowed on campus during school times. In-person events are generally more restrictive than before COVID-19 and have special rules that have to be adhered to. All events or programs that require volunteers have to be done outside of school hours. You will have to register for any event 24 hours before the event, with NO EXCEPTION.
