PTCC Volunteers
The PTCC offers many different opportunities for involvement at the school. There are many committees that perform a variety of functions for the school. As members of the PTCC, parents are encouraged to become involved with or chair any committee that interests them. Our volunteer programs are designed to utilize individual talents and abilities to enhance the learning atmosphere for the children, and support the faculty and staff of the school. Everyone is encouraged to volunteer.
