Volunteer for the 2024-2025 PTO

We're actively planning for next year and are calling all parents, caregivers, and teachers to reflect on what kind of volunteering you can do to help our school flourish. 

We're still looking for:

  • A co-president
  • A special education parent advisory group liaison
  • A Spanish language & cultural ambassadors team lead
  • Coordinators for vital fundraising activities, such as the fall party, merchandise sales, POPs events, the online auction, and the Silvergraphics fundraiser 
  • Leaders to plan events to recognize teachers and organize fun school-wide events, including the Halloween Parade and the Science Fair.
  • Grade Reps for preK, 3rd, and 5th Grades
