Susan Griffin
Rummel Creek Elementary

Susan Griffin is the perfect model for the ideal volunteer within our district. She currently serves as president of the PTA at Rummel Creek Elementary.

Over the past six years, Susan has been the room mom countless times. She has volunteered in the library, classroom, and computer lab. Although she is a full time employee at ConocoPhillips and runs her own business, The Shamrock Press, she still manages to find time to efficiently run and innovatively engage parents in Rummel Creek’s PTA.

She constantly finds ways to increase the attendance and participation of parents in the PTA by conducting surveys and addressing needs. In order to get parents involved, she has made PTA meetings brief and fun, yet still productive. At the meetings she now serves food, has door prizes, and manages to keep them under one hour to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. Susan is constantly creating a positive atmosphere making parents and teachers want to become more involved.

Susan works tediously with parents and staff in order to find ways to improve the school. She has recruited numerous volunteers for many committees and has helped each chairperson with ideas and suggestions for improvement. To celebrate and honor all of her hard work at Rummel Creek, our district is proud to recognize Susan Griffin as the November Volunteer of the Month.
