Parents: Volunteer for GPA and School Events!

You will hear us say this a lot, but it’s true: Greene Towne is powered by parents! Throughout the school year there are several opportunities for parents to help as little or as much as they would like. The Volunteer sign up is on your MyGTMS Dashboard, simply scroll down to the bottom.

Here is an overview of opportunities for your review:

The Greene Towne Parent Association (GPA) is actively seeking volunteers for its 4 committees. The GPA provides wonderful opportunities to get involved with our school and community, and it is a great way to make new friends.
