EMS School PTA
Committee Members and Chairs 2022-2023
Dear Parents and Faculty,
It has been a privilege to serve as your PTA Co-Presidents this year, and we look forward to making next year even better! We cannot stress enough how much being a part of the EMS community means to us.
This year our community came together to expand the opportunities for our children's' educational experience. Hundreds of volunteers devoted their time to making our PTA events, programs, and activities a huge success. Our teachers and administrators shared their joy of teaching with us and partnered with the PTA to execute new programming and the return of some oldies but goodies (ie. Washington DC). See a full listing of our PTA events and programs in 2022-2023.
On behalf of the PTA Executive Board, we want to thank our entire school community for their support of our many programs and events for the students at Eastern Middle School. From basic membership to chairing an event or program, from volunteering to simply attending an event, your contributions of time, effort, and/or money validate and broadens your child’s educational experience. Further, your support of the PTA expands every child’s opportunity for growth.
Have a wonderful summer!
Cristina Broderick and Joanna Willott
