Seeking Volunteer Treasurer for the DHS PTSO

The Dunwoody High School PTSO is looking for a parent volunteer to serve on the Executive Board as "Treasurer Shadow" for next school year. This is a 2-year commitment. The second year, you'll serve as the "Treasurer Lead." Together, the Treasurers set the budget (with the help of the Executive Board), monitor the budget, keep track of payments and deposits in QuickBooks, pay expenses, and deposit checks. Knowledge of QuickBooks and an accounting background are very helpful. This is a fun and rewarding way to get involved at DHS with a time commitment of about 3 hours a week.

DHS Food and Basic Needs Pantry 
It is tough out there people. Many of us are blessed, and so many others are struggling. A DHS student, with the help school counselors and social workers, set up a food & basic needs pantry at Dunwoody High School to help those suffering from food insecurity in our area. This pantry is open to elementary, middle and high school age kids.  School counselors or social workers at local schools ensure that families in the area are connected if needed. Unfortunately, the number of families living in hotels is increasing daily. Families are having to choose food or a roof over their head.
 
If you can help, please consider purchasing items from the wish list. This list includes shelf stable foods, personal care items, snacks, and daily basics. 
 
Thank you for your generous hearts!
