BooneTrail PTA Every Child, One Voice

The Boone Trail PTA is a group of parents, teachers, and community members excited about the future of our children. Join us and help make a difference in hundreds of lives – including the ones closest to your heart.

At this stage in your child's life, it is more important than ever to stay involved in their education. In fact, over 500 independent studies show that when parents are involved in their children's education, it makes a tremendous difference.

Joining the PTA makes this job a little easier. We provide an excellent opportunity for parents to meet one another, get comfortable with the school and it's staff, and support each other's common goals. Plus, we have a lot of fun in the process!

Your PTA needs your unique talents, whether it's volunteering a few hours a month or a few hours a year, serving on the Board, attending meetings or sharing your ideas with the group.

Come join us and make a difference! Help us Advance the Pack!

PTA Mythbusters

• Myth: The PTA is just for stay-at-home moms.
  FACT: The PTA is for everyone! Our volunteers are mothers, fathers and those who fill those roles. We have a wide range of volunteers who stay-at-home; work part-time to full-time; have little ones at home, preschoolers, high schoolers, and/or college students; are continuing their own education; and more.
• Myth: The PTA has all the help they need.
  FACT: The PTA welcomes everyone and continues to need volunteers for various events, fundraisers, and committees year-round. We need you!
• Myth: Volunteering for the PTA takes too much time.
  FACT: Only YOU can decide how much time you can give. Even if you can help at just one event or handle one task per year, it would be greatly appreciated.
• Myth: PTA volunteers need to be at the school during the day.
  FACT: Much of the PTA work can be done from home on your own schedule, or at events at night or weekends. Yes, there is volunteering during the school day if you are able to do so. But no one does it all, so choose what works best for you.
• Myth: The PTA has the same volunteers year after year and everyone knows each other.
  FACT:While we are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who return, we also welcome new ones every year. We do strike up friendships and enjoy getting to know one another. This year, we already have several new Committee Chairs and volunteers, and we have not all met each other yet. Our volunteers range from Kindergarten to 5^th grade parents, so it's a great chance to get to know parents from other grades you may not have met otherwise.
• Myth: The PTA is all set with their activities and events for the year.
  FACT: Each year, the PTA brings back favorites and tries new activities, fundraisers and events. Those new ideas come from volunteers. While we try to plan ahead, it's only the beginning of the school year and there's still plenty of time to do even more for the students and school this year. And we want you to be a part of it all!
