Volunteer
Volunteering is a great way to support our teachers and our students, and there are lots of ways you can help. Whether you can only offer an hour of your day or several days, we have a way you can help. Please see the events page below for volunteer opportunities. If you have questions about volunteering, click the button below to contact the PTCO. If you aren't able to volunteer your time, please be sure to visit our fundraising page for other ways you can help our school.
2019-2020
We have been very fortunate in the past to have a great group of parents supporting our school with their time and efforts, but we need more help from existing and incoming parents. Do you have a "little" time to give? If so, please considering volunteering! Please open the document below with volunteer opportunities. If any of these position(s) will work for you, contact your PTCO board with your preferences. Any help will greatly benefit our students, staff, and school. We thank you in advance for any and all help that you can provide. Remember...when we all do a little, it can add up to a lot!

Event Description:
This is our biggest and ONLY fundraiser we do all year long If we raise enough money, it allows us to put on fun events for free or at very low costs. It pays for field trips, technology, teacher grants, and much more!
Here's how it works:
Parents - Your child will come home with a donation form/envelope in early September. Their goal is to raise as much money as they can. Ask your family, friends, neighbors, and businesses. Check with your companies. Many corporations will match your donation, doubling the amount raised.
Rewards - A fun experience (to be announced) will be awarded to the top male and female donation collectors in the school. The top class who raises the most money will also received a fun TBA experience. Jog-a-thon day - There will be a track lane set up in the open field of the school yard along with some fun music. Each grade will come out at their scheduled time slot during the day and run for a predetermined amount of time. A different grade level will be out with your child's grade keeping track of each student's lap count. Families are welcome to come out and support their kid during their time slot (just check in with the office before coming to the field). We will also need volunteers to help this even run as smooth as possible. Check back here for a link to volunteer! |

Event Description:
During this week, each class will shop during their normal library time, so only one class will be in there at a time and they will still have time to checkout books as well. It is a wonderful way for kids to independently do their holiday shopping for family members, friends, etc. There are gift selections at a wide range of cost. The kids will bring their money to school in envelopes labeled who they are hopping for. There will be volunteers there to help the kids make their selections and all gifts will be wrapped. We will need your help!
Please check back here for volunteer opportunities. Teacher Gift Wrapping
