Field PTA
PTA comprises more than 5 million parents and other concerned adults devoted to the educational success of children and the promotion of parent involvement in schools. PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities and a strong advocate for public education.
The Field PTA is part of both the National and the Illinois PTA's. We are an all volunteer service organization that unites home, school and community on the behalf of children. The PTA at Field is made up of many committees in which parent members coordinate various fun family events, school assemblies, programs and events throughout the school year. The Field PTA is open to all volunteers and welcomes all of our families to participate. There are many ways to help out.
Please feel free to review the Committees listed on our website. We need all help at all levels. The most time consuming PTA positions are those of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee includes the President,President-Elect, Treasurer, Ways and Means, Membership, Secretary, and Programs. If you're interested in any of these positions, please contact someone on the current Executive Committee and let them know of your interest.
Committee Chairs are responsible for coordinating and running a particular program or event. Many of the committees assemble a team of volunteers to assist with their event.
Committee Members are the volunteers who help out in a wide variety of ways. Whether they are staffing a shift at Fall Fest, handing out ribbons at the Running Clubs annual Drumstick Dash, or manning a register at the annual Book Fair, we have many ways and levels of commitment to meet your needs.
Thank you for supporting our PTA and we encourage you to become a member if you have not done so already.
