Volunteer
The PTA is planning for the 2024-2025 school year and recruiting PTA volunteers for specific roles and general involvement as we move towards reconnecting as a school community.
Complete a quick survey here to tell us how you would like to get involved.
We would love to have YOU join us next year as we work together to bring MORE opportunity, fun, and community to the Ephesus family.
