The NES PTA has multiple volunteer opportunities throughout the school year.  The PTA includes several “Standing Committees” that conduct all of the “work” of the PTA.  Each committee has a designated Chairperson that oversees the “work”.  Each committee needs multiple volunteers to help things run smoothly.  Below is a detailed list of each committee and its responsibilities.

If you are interested in volunteering your time under ANY of the following committees,
please contact us at nantucketpta@gmail.com

NO AMOUNT OF TIME IS TOO SMALL!

• Community Events/Programs - The community events and programs committee plans free family events for our school community.
