Volunteer – BTPTA

Volunteers Needed!

Help us make this the best year ever for our children.

As you can see from the committees listed below, the PTA is very busy throughout the year. We could not attempt to do all that we do without all of the help and support from our membership.

There are opportunities for everyone to get involved, some with minimal amounts of time commitment and others that are more involved. Thanks to volunteers like you we are able to make our children’s educational experience even richer.
