Help Shape the Future of the PTA

As my time as President comes to a close, I just want to say that being involved in the PTA has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences.

I can’t encourage it enough. Getting involved, even in a small way, makes a real difference for our kids, our schools, our teachers, our principals, and our community.

Trust me, it’s absolutely worth it.

Joe Orr-Mulica

There are two ways to get involved: help choose next year’s leaders (Nominating Committee) or step into a role yourself (Leadership Interest).

This is a bit wordy, bear with me, it's worth it! :-)
First, a Nominating Committee
 
 

We’re looking for volunteers to serve on our Nominating Committee, a small team that helps identify and recommend candidates for next year’s PTA leadership.

The committee includes 5 members (2 Executive Board and 3 at large members) and plays an important role in keeping our PTA strong and organized.

Per our bylaws: Before we can open nominations, we first need a Nominating Committee in place.

This committee helps ensure a fair, thoughtful, and organized process by identifying interested candidates, confirming their willingness to serve, and presenting a balanced slate of nominees to the membership.

What you’ll do:
We request three (3) at large PTA members to indicate their interest in serving on the Nominating Committee. Review candidates, confirm they’re willing to serve, and present a recommended slate. Members of the Nominating Committee are eligible for nomination, or can nominate other OEC PTA members

Interested? Please let us know by Monday, March 30, 2026.
Volunteer for Nominating Committee
 
2026-2027 Leadership Interest

After two years of service, Joe Orr-Mulica’s term as President is coming to an end, and we are actively looking for our next President or Co-Presidents to help guide our organization forward.

We are looking for members interested in getting more involved in the PTA - especially in leadership roles.

We are actively seeking interest for:

President or Co-President

If you’re not currently on the board, we strongly encourage Co-President roles, it’s a great way to share responsibilities and step into leadership with support.

We’re also looking for interest in:

We Were Here From the Beginning

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Bethany Arts Community’s 6th Annual Award-winning Black History & Culture Exhibit: Revolutionary Legacies. explores how African Americans have defined, and redefined freedom from 1776 to today. Each gallery is rooted in a line from the Declaration of Independence, showing how Black people have continually challenged the nation to live up to its founding ideals.  

Through art, artifacts, photography, storytelling, and interactive installations, this exhibit honors the spirit of revolution, resilience, and representation that continues to shape our culture. From the battlefield to the way we dressed to command dignity, from innovation to influence, Black Americans have been, and remain, the true trendsetters of freedom and style.  

Curated by Ossining Village Historian, Joyce Sharrock Cole.

Testimonials  

"I want to express my gratitude for our school's Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Even though the school year just started, their presence is already felt - they helped us to greet our students on the first day of school with balloons and bubbles; they purchased new indoor recess games for our classes; they donated fans to rooms without air conditioning; they welcomed back our teachers with breakfast last week; and they are ensuring that childcare is provided for our Back to School nights so that parents can focus on the teacher's presentation. " -Ms. Orduz, Brookside Principal
