5/26/2025 7:35 pm

Please read through the descriptions and let us know if you're interested in joining our group. For more information on any of the open positions, please email Abbas Ravjani.  We would love to have you!

 

The following Board positions are available:

 

Co-Vice President, Special Events: Responsible for coordinating exciting events that bring our school community together throughout the year, including Back to School celebrations, Movie Night, the ATS Staff Basketball Game and Teacher Appreciation Week among others! Will work in close coordination with the other Co-VP, Special Events who led this last year (Kristen George). Time Commitment: 5-10 hours/month.
 
Fall Festival Co-Chairs: One of our most important needs. This includes planning and bringing to life the fall festival. Most of it is planning, booking and ordering at the beginning of the school year, but some summer planning is required (e.g. Booking DJ, Carnival games and inflatables should be made by June). Make it your own with your choice of food vendor, special games, and prizes or use previous vendors and games! Time Commitment: 5 hours in the summer; Most of the work is between Aug-October and especially the 3 weeks leading up to the event.  Approx 40 hours in total.   

Auction Co-Chair: Coordinates annual fundraising auction (our biggest fundraiser!) with the other chair and committee. Duties include picking a date/location, working with a team of volunteers to email an already compiled list of donors (though more are always welcome!), then enter the data, and advertise. No decorating, no clean-up, just emails and hosting one of the most fun ATS activities. Time Commitment: 30-40 hours from late September to early March. Some months are only 1-2 hours but in February and March it’s about 10 hours each preparing for the auction, updating the website, following up with the donation team, working with the venue, attending the auction, and delivering donations afterwards.

 

Reflections Contest Chair: Coordinate submissions and judging for the PTA Reflections Contest. You will collect, curate, and prepare submissions for judging and organize a Reflections Awards Assembly to share submissions. The system is already in place (including judging templates and outreach forms) and needs someone to implement it! Time Commitment: A few hours per week in October/November around the contest, and in early January to help with the Reflections Award Assembly. Work can largely be done independently outside of working hours.

 

Yearbook Chair/Co-Chair: Get creative with development, planning, and creation of the yearbook!  Position duties begin in August (light duties - identifying contacts in the school, any parents who might take pictures, account creation, etc) intermittent photo requests, and heavier duties toward the last 1-2 months of the school year.  Last year's chair, Karen Mao, can assist transition by co-chairing if needed.
