PTA President Position Open for the 2023-2024 School Year

Do you have ideas that you want executed through next year’s PTA? It’s that time again to turn over leadership for next year and now is the chance to make those ideas a reality by stepping into a leadership role with DRES PTA! Even if you work full time, it’s possible to take on roles to ensure your students have fun and enriching activities.

We are seeking parents/guardians to fill the role of PTA President in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school year (this position is a two year term). The PTA cannot exist without the upcoming vacancy of the President being filled.

If you feel like this is an opportunity you might be interested in or would like more information on please email Megan Vissari at info@drespta.org.
