Final DEIB Meeting of the School Year — May 6
As we approach the end of the 2025–2026 school year, I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who participated in our DEIB workshops and meetings. As a parent whose family spans multiple marginalized communities, this work is deeply personal to me, and
learning alongside you has been a true highlight of my year.
Please join us for our final meeting on May 6 via Zoom. We will hold space for a respectful, open discussion on this year’s successes and identify our areas for growth. We will also begin brainstorming topics and goals for the upcoming school year.
I know how demanding this season is for everyone. Whether you joined us every month or just once, your presence is valued. I look forward to seeing you there with your ideas and "end-of-year" good vibes!
WHEN: Wednesday, May 6, (changed time) 7-8:30 PM

Lunch & Learn: Strengthening Membership Together
2026-05-07 12:00 - 13:00
PTA Lunch & Learn: Strengthening Membership Together — May 7
PTA membership has seen a gradual decline across our district over the past several years—and we know many schools are working hard to rebuild engagement and participation. Join us for a collaborative Lunch & Learn session featuring Helen Harmetz, Co-President
of Peter Kirk PTSA, who will share insights from their remarkable success in consistently achieving 100% membership at their school level.
This session is intended to go beyond a traditional presentation. After an overview of proven strategies by Helen, participants are encouraged discussions to share ideas, compare approaches, and learn from one another. We also invite you to “bring your challenge”—whether
it’s low turnout, communication barriers, or sustaining engagement—so we can collectively problem-solve and support each other.
Come ready to engage, collaborate, and leave with practical ideas you can bring back to your school community.
WHEN: Thursday, May 7 from 12-1 PM
WHERE: Zoom — (Register)
SPEAKER: Helen Harmetz, Co-President, Peter Kirk PTSA
TOPIC: Growing PTA Membership: Best Practices & Proven Strategies from the Field
Lunch &
Learn consists of virtual sessions held on select Thursdays during the school year, where we share
short presentations, followed by Q&A, on topics of interest to our PTA and school community. Lunch & Learns are always
free to join. Grab your lunch, log on, and learn with us!
