Take part in the last Dining for Dollars of this school year on Friday, May 8 at Tea DM in Vienna. All day, pick up a refreshing drink, mention Thoreau Middle School, and have money donated to the school!

Due to families aging out of the school, we have a large number of openings for the PTA board and committee chairs for the 2026-2027 school year. Please consider lending your time and talents to make Thoreau the dynamic and supportive environment we all love. We are seeking to fill the following positions:
- Vice President – Serve on the board and coordinate newsletter and communications

- School Supply Kits (1-3 people (ASAP!) ) – These volunteers coordinate with the company that supplies the kits and organizes the pick up at the beginning of the school year.

- Dining for Dollars – Work with local restaurants to participate in fundraising nights
- 7th Grade Dinner (1-3 people) – Plan and coordinate event
