The Downing Elementary School PTA has been actively committed to the success of our school’s students, staff and teachers for decades. Because of moms, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles just like you is how we continue this tradition.

Volunteering with PTA can work with the time you have available. But we can’t work without the brilliant ideas, then endless energy, or the dedication of parents just like you!  There is a place for you in our PTA.

We challenge you to give at least two hours to a PTA program this school year. That’s approximately 250 students x 2 hours = 500 PTA volunteer hours this year. Think of what we could accomplish together! Email MontDowningPTA@gmail.com to let us know what events interest you.

All PTA programs, events and activities need team leaders plus committee/program volunteers.  We have opportunities big and small – from chairing (leading a committee) to sending in store bought food items for school events. Please review the volunteer opportunities and let us know which programs you would be interested in participating with during the school year.  All dates subject to change due to school/ district events.
