Please Attend the Last PTA Meeting of the School Year: June 13
We need all hands on deck for our last PTA meeting of the school year on Thursday, June 13, at 6 p.m. in the media center. We'll be voting for board members for the next school year, and we'll also be voting on how to spend the money we've raised. We need 20 PTA members to attend in order to take action, so your participation is vital. Even if you haven't attended a meeting all year, please come to this one!
We Need You! Volunteer to Lead a PTA Committee or Serve on the PTA Board
The Rand Road PTA hosts several fun events throughout the year, but we can’t do it without the help of parent volunteers! While volunteer opportunities are available throughout the year, our most pressing need is for people to lead committees and serve on the PTA board. Even if you haven’t participated in these activities before, we’d love to have your help — and we’re happy to show you the ropes!
Here’s a list of committees in need of leadership. If you’d like to step up and help, or if you have questions, please contact the PTA at randroadPTA@ymail.com.
We’ll also be voting for PTA board positions for the 2019-20 school year at our monthly meeting in June. Board members are expected to attend PTA meetings, held the second Thursday of each month (except when tracked out). Here are the descriptions for each position (please note that we especially need a vice president, which is a great jumping-in point for someone new to PTA service!):
President
• Prepares agenda for each PTA meeting and presides at the meetings
• Oversees all other officers and activities
• Acts as a liaison between national, state, district, council, and local PTAs
Vice president
• Presides over meetings in the absence of the president
• Assists president as needed
Treasurer
• Prepares projected budget for the year
• Presents monthly statements and maintains financial records for the PTA
• Responsible for banking and disbursing funds
Secretary
• Maintains an accurate record (minutes) of the proceedings of all the general meetings and executive board meetings
• Creates and maintains a current database of members and volunteers
• Maintains a current copy of the bylaws and standing rules
• Handles PTA correspondence
If you're interested in serving as a committee leader or board member, or if you have further questions, please feel free to get in touch at randroadpta@ymail.com.

New Life for Old Crayons
Don't toss out those broken crayons! The Crayon Initiative melts down and re-forms broken crayons to make new ones that are distributed to children's hospitals across the country. Rand Road Elementary has collection bins in some classrooms and in the front office and is proud to help out with this project.
