Rockwell Community - the PTA has an URGENT request. We are eagerly looking for a parent volunteer to serve as the PTA Treasurer for the '21 - '22 school year. You don't have to be a financial whiz to fill the spot - just capable of balancing a checkbook and keeping good notes. You'll have support from other members of the board as you come up to speed on the role. This is an urgent request as we can't have a PTA without a Treasurer.

Looking for a place to put your organizing talents to good use? THEN WE WANT YOU!!!

I'm looking for an Emergency Preparedness Co-Chair for the 2021-2022 school year to help complete some projects while gaining some specialized knowledge that could be useful at home. Since I co-chair another districtwide committee, I would love an extra set of hands executing some valuable e-prep projects at Rockwell. This E-Prep Co-Chair role is very flexible since there are only a few minimal obligations throughout the year. The amount of time and volume of tasks is mostly self-determined and self-initiated. In this role, you would be helping Rockwell become safer and more prepared for unexpected emergencies. My favorite feature of this position is being able to serve the Rockwell community while working around my busy daytime schedule. Typical tasks involve counting, organizing, and purchasing our emergency supplies as well as attending quarterly e-prep committee meetings. You don't need any prior knowledge of emergency preparedness. You'll even come away learning a ton about how you can be better prepared at home and in your community. Bonus points if you're a Kindergarten or first grade parent!
