We look forward to working
with you!!!
Every day, you work hard for your
children, providing love, support, basic necessities, encouragement, and
moral guidance. Yet on weekdays, they spend much more time at school
than with you. What are you doing to enrich that school time?
At AHS, parents help determine what text
books are used. We volunteer to free up teacher time for critical tasks.
We help decide what achievements are rewarded, and then we plan programs
to reward students. We make sure new students are supported, and we
promote healthy choices in students. Parents have a huge role in
decisions and programs that affect students. Do you have a voice in
this?
If every parent gave three hours of time
each semester to parent volunteering for AHS, we would have over 5,000
hours of advocacy and support each semester. That's a lot of influence
to make sure all students are successful!
The AHS PTSA is asking each parent to
pledge three hours each semester for volunteering. Every enn is full of
in-school and at-home opportunities to make a difference. There is truly
something for everybody. Please choose one or more. Sure, "someone else"
can do it, but effective parents want to shape the future.
