CENTER GROVE PTA COMMITTEES

Help is wanted….
The CG PTA welcomes each volunteer and is grateful for your contribution.
Our goal is to have our children benefit from the wonderful programs at CG.
The students love it when they know that you are part of their school community!

The activities listed below are sponsored and supported by the PTA; they cannot come
to fruition without your time and help! We hope that you find something to fit your schedule and interests.
If you are interested in volunteering for the many exciting opportunities at our school, kindly contact the
chairperson directly via email with your contact info.
