Get Involved

Why get involved? There are infinite reasons to get involved in your child’s school. Your time, attention and money is infectious. While the hour that your donate to 10 or 100 kids helps those kids directly, they go home and tell their parents, those parents realize that other parents are involved, they get involved, your kid feels empowered because his family made his school made more interesting, more fun, more interesting, more educational, more athletic. His dad, mom, great aunt or grandfather made a difference. Your child realizes he can make a difference in his community and, after a lot of this, we raise great community members.

You think you can’t get involved? Getting involved with the PTA at 163 is easy. Volunteer your time, become a class parent, donate money, participate in regular events, go to a fundraising event, or work on some of our on-going initiatives. Attend a PTA meeting and you will be given many ideas (the PTA maintains a database of people that can help). We need volunteers at all hours to translate and help other parents and children. We need you to show your children that their education is one of the most important things in their life. Click on Participate and we’ll show you how!
