Position Summary: Purchase and store the teachers’ requested school supplies over the summer and deliver and organize at school when the building opens in August.

Primary Responsibilities: 

• Work from a list of supply requests from teachers; Some supplies are the same every year and others change as-needed. These include folders, notebooks, markers, pencils, etc. 

• Each shopper will get assigned a portion of the supplies to purchase. These can be purchased over the course of the summer and shoppers will have the previous years’ orders as reference. School supply sales in retail stores begin early, so shoppers can work around their schedule with purchasing and receiving orders. 

• The more shoppers we have, the less strenuous it will be to get the supplies purchased, delivered to homes, stored for the summer, then brought in. Shoppers can participate in organizing their purchased supplies in August so that each teacher has what they need. *Kids can help too! You are not required to help organize supplies by being a shopper if it doesn’t work for you. 

• In the past, the buying has been done by one or two people and it’s too much to store and keep track of purchasing. Breaking this up amongst 4-5 buyers will keep the project manageable and sustainable so we can continue to pre-buy the supplies the teachers prefer and allow parents to reimburse PTA with a flat fee. 

• Help us to maintain this popular program by signing up as a buyer. 

• You will submit receipts and be reimbursed by the PTA in the fall. This project will require use of personal credit cards and some wait time for reimbursement.

Time Commitment: 6-8 hours over the summer.
