Help lead on the PTA Board for next year! There are so many ways to serve and we need you to help support our wonderful ATS community!

Please read through the descriptions and email Abbas Ravjani, if interested.

The following Board positions are available:

First Vice President / President-Elect: Fancy yourself being PTA President someday? The First VP is the perfect opportunity to learn the ropes and get an inside look at everything going on with the PTA. From events, to teacher appreciation, to community advocacy, the PTA President covers all the issues. Help prepare the PTA to have solid leadership for years to come. Time Commitment: 5 hours/month.

Fall Festival Co-Chair: This is one of our longstanding traditions at ATS and an event that your kids love. You'll work with the amazing Kailin Burns who helped lead the event this year. Most of the work involves planning, booking and ordering at the beginning of the school year, but some summer planning is required. 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: Help us plan the funnest night of the year for ATS parents and raise funds for our amazing school! You'll work with very experienced co-chairs, Emily McCarty and Carla Wilson, and will be focused on the Online portion of our event, which will include managing the platform that families use to bid on items. No prior experience required. Time Commitment: 2-3 hours/month throughout the year and more focused attention during certain months leading up to the auction.

Restaurant Night Co-Chair: Calling all foodies. Jessica Viator has been leading our community building restaurant nights for the past few years, and she'll be moving on soon. We need a new foodie to learn from her and carry on this monthly tradition. Time Commitment: 2-3 hours/month.

Used Book Sale is Almost Here!

This very popular sale will be June 8-11 in the ATS Library during school hours. It’s not too soon to start making a pile of books that you can donate to the AAH/REACH Used Book Sale. Take your books to the front hall beginning May 28.

ALL books will be sold for $1, yes, that's $1! Stock up for summer reading! All money raised will be used to print the Uganda Reading Challenge and to purchase books for the schools' libraries.

What is REACH/AAH?
The Arlington Academy of Hope in Uganda was founded in 2004 by then ATS parents, John and Joyce Wanda. The organization is now called REACH for Uganda and can be found at: https://reachforuganda.org. REACH supports Resources, Environment, Academics, Community, and Health Initiatives. A number of our ATS staff have visited the school.
For questions about the book sale or to volunteer to help, you may contact Cynthia Margeson.
