Join the PTA

As a BES PTA member, you have a voice in shaping how funds we raise are used. We want to make sure you know how everything works so you can jump right in.

Your Voice & Your Vote

A core part of the PTA is our democratic process. To ensure all voting members are fully informed and have a chance to understand the PTA's goals and financial status, our bylaws require that a member be in good standing for at least 30 days before voting on official business. This is a common practice that helps maintain the stability and integrity of our organization.

Your ideas are always welcome right away! You can share them in two ways:

• Speak Up at Meetings: During the "New Business" or "Open Floor" section of our agenda, any member can raise a hand to share an idea or suggestion for the PTA to consider.

• Email Us: Feel free to email your ideas or questions to ptabonsallelementary@gmail.com at any time. We love hearing from our members!

What kinds of things do we vote on?

You might hear us call for a vote on matters like:

• Approving the budget for the upcoming year or a special project.

• Electing officers for the Executive Board (President, VP, Treasurer, etc.).

• Amending our standing rules or bylaws.

• Authorizing large expenditures not already in the approved budget.

• Approving event plans and fundraisers proposed by committees.

Your first 30 days are a perfect time to:

• Attend meetings to listen and learn.

• Join a committee (like Fall Festival, Yearbook, or Teacher Appreciation).

• Introduce yourself to the board members and other parents.

We are so glad you're here. Together, we make a tremendous difference for our kids
