Lynhaven Elementary School

PTA board positions filled!

Update on our last PTA meeting of this school year.

Great News! Our 2021-2022 PTA Board positions were filled at last night's PTA meeting. These positions are required in order to have a PTA or Parent Teacher Association on campus. Here are the names of our board members: 
President- Mary Deutscher
Vice Pres - April Maimon
Secretary - Rachel Roth
Treasurer - Mary Bormann
*Please Note: 
Two of the four board members will be parents of 5th graders in the fall and will be leaving Lynhaven at the end of the 21-22 school year to go off to middle school. This means we will have to fill these positions in order to have a functioning PTA going forward. 
Below are the open Board Positions that need to be filled so that those activites can take place. We need the support of any parents/family members that can help as the team of four cannot possibly do it all. Our parent community has always shown great support for our school and the events we have. If you choose to help with anything, know that it will never be all alone, there are people who are able to support you! THANK YOU!
