TPA Parent Volunteering

Support TPA :: TPA Parent Organization

 

Dear TPA Families and Prospective Families,

Parental involvement at Tempe Prep Academy is essential to maintaining the school’s special sense of community and to ensure adequate funds are available to better the classroom and extracurricular experiences for students. To that end, the Parent Organization (PO) serves as an auxiliary arm of the school with focus on fundraising and social events within the school community. Specific examples of special social events are the Back-to-School social, the ice skating social, and the annual Renaissance Fair held on the campus ground.

In addition, the PO organizes the various committees that help support the students and faculty throughout the year, such as hot lunches, teacher birthday recognition, carpools, and sports awards desserts.

The TPA Parent Organization is only able to do wonderful things thanks to the assistance of the parents. All of us have many demands on our time - however, when we each take even a small role, together great things are accomplished.

Please take a look at the PO committees listed to the left of this message and consider how your special interests and availability might match with the perfect volunteer position.

If you have specific questions about our Parent Organization please contact Lynda Hartzler. For more general information you can visit our Parent Organization FAQ Page.
