Annual Dinner Auction: Our biggest fundraising event of the year. Lots of volunteers needed for everything from donation solicitation and gift basket arranging to cashiering at the event. Many opportunities to help in big ways and small, and all help is greatly appreciated.
Reading Room: We have a parent-staffed Reading Room to assist students with reading in small groups. Parents can volunteer as little as ½-hour a week. Reading is essential to our children’s education, and this critical program cannot be done without your help.
Back to School BBQ: Volunteers can help with cashiering, food preparation, BBQing, clean-up, etc.
Halloween Dance: Volunteers needed for set up, event supervision, and clean-up.
Picture Day:Volunteers needed to escort children to/from classes, and help with pre-photo grooming.
Innisbrook Fundraiser: Another big fundraiser for our school. Volunteers are needed for order entry, order sorting & filling, etc. It brings in a lot of money, so it’s worth the effort!
See’s Candy Fundraiser: A yummy opportunity to help with packet preparation, order entry, and order distribution.
Book Fairs: Volunteers are needed for set-up, cashiering, and clean-up.It’s through the Book Fair that we are able to have books for students to earn through out Reading Incentive Program.
Character Cash Store: Students earn “Character Cash” for different good deeds, and can spend them periodically on Fridays at lunch when the Character Cash Store is open. Volunteers staff the store.
Science Fair: Volunteers work with the Science Fair Coordinator to help with set-up, judges luncheon, and clean-up.
Rummage Sale:Volunteers help with sorting through and pricing donated items to be sold, set-up of the sale, and selling.
Talent Show:Volunteers help with flyers, auditions, decorations, performance night, etc. A fun event which the kids love and which can’t happen without the help of parents.
Red Ribbon Week: As part of a national program, a volunteer coordinates this week’s activities dedicated to raising awareness of the need to stay drug-free.
Parent Volunteer Room: Just off the A-Pod is the Parent Volunteer Room. This is where our teachers can drop off their clerical work needing to be done (copying, cutting, collating, etc), and return with confidence, knowing that it will be done on the due date. However, this depends on volunteers who come by either regularly, or on a drop-in basis, to provide this help. Gone are the days when each teacher had an aide to help them out. So if you are cleared by the District as a volunteer, PLEASE SPEND SOME TIME IN THE PARENT VOLUNTEER ROOM THIS YEAR.
