PS 33 PTA CommitteeS
The PS 33 PTA Executive Board relies on committees of parents to help plan and run numerous events and efforts throughout the year. Some committees focus on a particular event or activity; others work on broader efforts to support the school.
Many committees are small and newly formed and need your help, enthusiasm, effort and ideas! Contact the Membership Secretary (ps33pta@gmail.com) to find out how to join or run a committee that suits your interests.
