About Ephesus Elementary PTA Volunteering
The EES PTA cannot do the critical work to support our school community without our volunteers. There are several opportunities with various commitment levels open. If you have a different idea, please note it below.
It's also OK if you don't have a specific interest but want to be available to help! We will reach out if we have a volunteer need and if it is the right fit for you, we cannot wait to have you join us!
- Welcome Committee
- Staff Appreciation
- Fundraising
- Community Events
