$35 Membership Fee (covers county, state and national fees)

$100 Donation (we respectfully request a $100 donation per family so that we can run all of our programming)

2. Volunteer with the PTA
We need YOU to help run our programming!
Click here to join a committee!
While the PTA wants to run special events and programs, we need volunteers to plan and coordinate them. Any events without committee members will need to be canceled. Please consider volunteering so our children can have the most experiences and opportunities possible this upcoming school year!
**All volunteers must attend training and comply with MCPS expectations. (For further information, please email Mr. Jones at vernon_a_jones@mcpsmd.org.)
Questions? Email Amy at volunteers@waysidepta.org.
