Joining/Volunteering
PTSA knows that you love your children and want to do the best for them. We also know that children learn more and have increased educational opportunities when parents, school faculty, and the community work together. As children grow up and mature they need guidance with new friends, new experiences and new challenges. By joining AMMS PTSA, you can assist your child in the transition from childhood to young adult by becoming an active role model in the school community. Joining does not require your time only your support.
AMMS PTSA gives you the opportunity to stay involved in their lives. You can stay involved by actively participating in any of our committees.
We welcome your comments, questions and suggestions. ammsvolunteers@cfl.rr.com
