Let's Make the 2022-23 School Year Amazing!

With the last few years the way they were, we are REALLY hoping we will be able to get back to in person events with kids and families on a regular basis. We hope to really build that community feeling again, with parent get-togethers, summer playdates for kids, fun STEM & Literacy events, Math Challenge, After School Enrichment, etc.

Over the last couple years, many of our "seasoned" PTA leaders have already moved up to middle school - or will at the end of this year. We will need to really think about what we want to do next school year! Time to come up with fresh ideas and get new families involved.

We also have LOTS of new families joining Canyon Creek for the EAP program - and we would LOVE to get those families involved in our PTA and community! The more volunteers we have, the more amazing programs/events we can have and the more cohesive and robust community we can build. 

Looking for events you can just help with? Check out our Available Volunteer Signups page!

Nominating Committee Needed:

This is a committee of THREE (3) PTA members. This committee reaches out to our community to find those interested in taking on a leadership role - and also gets referrals for people who might be great in a leadership position. This is critical for our PTA to keep running! Learn more about the committee...

Fundraising:

• Fundraising: Take on the development and implementation of new fundraising opportunities. This is a great opportunity for a group of individuals! This could be an auction, bingo night, carnival, or other ideas! Great opportunity to get a committee together to come up with ideas.

Keep abreast of district and state initiatives, programs, and events of potential interest to the Special Ed community. Work with other Special Ed.

• Student Council Liaison: Act as PTA liaison to Canyon Creek's Student Council, supporting their community outreach efforts and assisting the staff advisor as needed. Share information with exec board and communications about what we can do to help the Student Council. You might help with the logistics of events like food/clothing drives, etc. Ideally would attend Student Council meetings (usually either right before the school day or during the school day), take notes about how help them - and also bring PTA event updates that apply to students so they can share with their respective classes.
