As a 100% volunteer organization, the Denman Parent Teacher Student Association relies on dedicated parents, caregivers, and community members like you. Your dedication helps support everything from classroom supplies and teacher appreciation to student clubs and grade-wide trips, but we can’t do it without your help!
We’re always looking for new team members, especially 6th and 7th grade families who can help carry these traditions forward.
Most roles require just one to two evening meetings per month and offer meaningful benefits: working directly with the principal and admin, staying in the loop on school happenings, and connecting with other passionate adults and students.
No prior leadership or public speaking experience needed.
