Join PTA
     Membership in Rivercrest Elementary PTA costs only $5.00 per person. Anyone can be a member; parents, students, grandparents, aunts, uncles, anyone who wants to be a part of helping their school become a happy and safe learning place.

Membership Benefits
     National, State and local PTA use the money collected from membership fees to help shape state and national legislation that safeguards the general welfare of children. Rivercrest receives awards for the most participation from parents and teachers. Your child will think you're great for being an active participant in their school. They can be proud when they hear their classroom receive an award for having the highest PTA membership.

PTA Information
     We have four General PTA meetings each year. Each meeting has a short program that offers great ideas on how we can better our children's lives. Dates for the 2004 - 2005 school year:

     Contests
     PTA sponsors three great contests each year. Each participant receives a certificate and winners will receive a trophies. The winners go on to compete against all Shelby County Schools.

Box Tops for Education
     Save Box Tops for Education! Our library gets $0.10 for each box top turned in. The PTA helps by collecting and tallying the box tops from each classroom at the end of each 9 weeks. We reward the winning classroom with an ice cream party. For more information, visit http://www.boxtops4education.com/.

Volunteers
     We need volunteers in many areas at the school.
          1. We need someone to shelve books each morning in the library between 8:15-8:45, even if you can
              only help once a month.
          2. We need clinic workers everyday. You can work mornings or afternoons. It's a great time to come
              early or stay after and have lunch with your child.
          3. We always need extra help with Donuts for Dad, Muffins for Mom, and math tutors. Please let us
              know if you would like to help. The rewards are endless when you volunteer at your child's school.
