Dear Birch Lane Families,
As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we are excited to invite families to express interest in joining one or more Birch Lane PTA committees.
Attached you will find the PTA Committee Interest Form, which provides families with the opportunity to indicate the committees they are interested in serving on for the upcoming school year. Our PTA is entirely volunteer-run, and the continued success of our programs, events, and initiatives is made possible through the dedication and support of our school community.
Please note the following important information:
The Committee Interest Form will close on July 15, 2026
Committee placements and finalized committee lists will be communicated after the form closes
Completing the form and requesting specific committees does not guarantee placement on those committees
Additionally, in order to serve on a PTA committee, members will be required to attend a minimum of three (3) PTA General Meetings throughout the school year, either in person or via Zoom.
Due to the significant planning and volunteer commitment involved, families interested in serving on the Field Day Committee must also participate on two (2) additional PTA committees during the school year.
We encourage all families to consider getting involved. Whether you can volunteer occasionally or take on a larger role, your participation helps us continue creating enriching experiences and memorable events for our students and families.
Thank you for your continued support of the Birch Lane community!
Warm regards,
Lauren Carollo
President, Birch Lane PTA
