Community Event Assistant
Community Event Assistant
Cupertino Middle School PTA is looking for enthusiastic high school students who love kids and are willing to assist elementary and middle school kids with homework as well as watch toddlers. For safety reasons, this position requires two students at a time for any given PTA meeting.
Our goal is to encourage more parents to attend PTA meetings. Parents often cite that their kids need to do homework and that they have little ones that would not allow them to fully participate in decisions, ideas, etc.
Our first meeting is Thursday, Sept. 23.
After that, it’s third Thursdays unless otherwise notified. Ideally you would arrive at 6:25 p.m. and work until the meeting ends, usually by 8:15 p.m., give or take 5 or 10 minutes.
Contact the PTA president, Emiliana Martín at Reina.Borinquena@gmail.com or call (408) 245-6911. If you get voicemail, state what times and at what phone number I can reach you so we can avoid phone tag.
