PTA Great Idea Bank

A resource for PTA and parent involvement project ideas

Year after year the moms fight over the title of "class mom" only to realize that it is more than they can handle or not as glamorous as it sounds. Last year I suggested that my class mom use the volunteer forms found at www.signupgenius.com

Of course my class mom was great, but we had more participation from the other parents than we have ever had, and it seems that we seldom heard the excuse "I forgot" We always had plenty of volunteers, tissues, glue sticks, snacks and juice boxes. I even think that some of the other teachers were jealous - LOL

As the new school year roll around, I am including the link in all my paperwork to ensure that everyone knows to expect emails and reminders from our class mom using sign up genius.

I am going to present it to other teachers and hopefully their class moms will be agreeable to organizing the classroom activities in a super manner!

Please let me know what you think. I would like to know if you find it as helpful as I do.

Thanks so much for this! I will certainly check this website out! I'm 'class mom' this year and I'm always looking for ways to connect with parents without taking up too much time. Here's to a wonderful school year!

This looks awesome. I signed up right away. I am the room mom coordinator for all classrooms this year and I will try to get all the room moms onto this sight. Thanks so much.

I've been trying to tell everyone I know about it. That's how much success we have had with it. I'm going to start using it for my daughter's carpool group.
