The PTA needs volunteer workers to make its programs as successful as possible. By volunteering in some capacity, you have a wonderful opportunity to support your school and, in turn, your child! The following are brief job descriptions of each volunteer area.

Room Parent: Volunteers work with the Grade Level Coordinator to organize class parties. The job includes calling other parents for refreshments, planning games, coordinating party favors, and being present at the parties to help set up, etc. You will also be asked to help find volunteers from your class to help with other PTA functions, such as fundraisers.

Refreshments: Volunteers provide cookies, cupcakes, drinks, paper goods, etc. to at least one of the class parties.

Help day of the party: Volunteers set up before the party, help with games, pass out refreshments, and clean up after the party.

Helping with fund raisers: Volunteers are needed to help in a variety of ways: making and copying flyers, collecting and tabulating order forms, working the day of the fund raiser.
