The PTA runs on volunteer time and community generosity. Both are welcome in any amount.
Become a volunteer — three steps
- Get a background check — a five-minute online form, required before volunteering in the building (including field trips!). Wait for the PPS approval email.
- Join the PTA — optional, but it lets you vote at Community Meetings and covers you with insurance for Bike Bus corking, sweeping, or leading.
- Join Konstella — where every volunteer opportunity is posted. It's the place to be!
Donate
Your dollars fund community events, classroom and arts support, the Eagle Reading Club and Mini Grants, grounds and garden care, teacher appreciation, and help for families in need. The Annual Appeal — our biggest direct-giving drive — kicks off Monday, November 2, 2026: give online, or send cash/check (payable to Abernethy PTA, with your student's name and grade) to the office at 2421 SE Orange Ave.
The Abernethy Century Campaign is raising $50K to fund the centennial mural and the next century — check it out.
