Parent Teams
PTA Parent Teams are formed at the start of each school year. These are volunteer positions and a great way for parents to get involved in our Westbrook and Glen Grove school communities. Parent Teams work closely with the PTA Board Members to organize events and fundraisers, plan classroom parties, create yearbooks, and much more! Whether you can commit to a lot or a little, we invite you to join us!
