Committees and Committee Chairs play an important role in PTAs.  Since PTA is a volunteer-based organization, we can’t fully provide programs without the help and support of our generous volunteers.  While some of these positions are year-long commitments, there are also short-term committees and events in need of general volunteers and/or chairperson(s).

  • Volunteers: As a general volunteer, you may be called upon to assist with a variety of programs, events
    and activities organized by the PTA, committees, school or teachers to support student success. Time and commitment involved depends solely on a volunteer’s availability and desire to help. These assignments may range from “one time only” assignments to daily, weekly, or monthly needs to meet goals and priorities of CCPTA and Clear Creek Elementary School.

- Yearbook (TreeRing): This is an ongoing commitment which has been taken over by the Office and ASB!  The Yearbook Chair is responsible for working closely with the board and school, along with TreeRing (the company we used last year). You will collect and provide photos to create the yearbook using software provided by TreeRing, as well as provide information for ordering yearbooks. Yearbook Chair may also select volunteers/members for the Yearbook Committee.


While board members may chair some events, they are also busy fulfilling their officer role, so volunteering as co-chair is also a welcome option. Regardless of a board member’s position, we will be available to answer questions, share ideas and even volunteer on these committees and at events. Here at Clear Creek, the PTA is doing everything we can for the school. It really does “take a village” to provide programs and events.
