The Gordon Creek PTA has had an incredible year, but we’ve reached a "changing of the guard" moment! Per our bylaws, some of our veteran leaders are reaching their term limits, and we are looking for three new partners to join our board for the 2026-2027 school year.

We are seeking to fill these "Co-Pilot" roles:

🤝 1 Co-President (Work alongside our current President)

🤝 1 Co-Vice President (Help plan events with our veteran VP)

🤝 1 Co-Secretary (Partner on communications/minutes)

Why join us?

Zero Guesswork: You’ll be paired with an experienced board member who will mentor you and share the workload.

Flexibility: These are "Co-" positions for a reason! You have a partner to help you.

Direct Impact: You get a front-row seat (and a vote!) in deciding how we support our students and teachers.

🗓 Next Meeting: Thursday, May 21st at 7pm (Join us to ask questions)

🗳 Election Meeting will be held Tuesday, June 16th at 7pm.

No experience is necessary—just a heart for our school! If you’re even a little bit curious, please reach out to us at [email protected] or complete to form below by clicking the link.

Today we had the pleasure of celebrating our amazing teachers & staff with a special appreciation lunch! 💜🍴💛

A huge thank you to Neighborhood Kitchen for providing such a delicious lunch today. We also want to give a very special shout out to Rose & Zach Patterson for all of their planning, organizing, and hard work to make today so special. ✨

From the beautifully decorated lounge to the donations from GC families, every detail helped show our teachers and staff just how appreciated they are for everything they do 💐

Thank you to everyone who helped make today a success! We hope you felt the love and appreciation, GC teachers and staff! 🫶🏼
