Co-Vice President
Lead all volunteer management & staff appreciation

We need someone who can coordinate and recruit volunteers for all the programs and events that our PTO sponsors. If you are enthusiastic and understanding of parents’ many time constraints, then raise your hand and help us build teams to do great things for our school! Even better is if you can help parents find the best way to plug into our school community – let the Bakers Bake, and let the Shakers Shake, and help find folks to bring our Pinterest Dreams to life!
The co-vice presidents also lead our ongoing teacher appreciation efforts. This includes pulling together ideas and volunteers for monthly appreciation moments, as well as coordinating a larger effort for Staff Appreciation Week in the spring.

Enrichment Coordinator
Find & coordinate programs to enhance student curriculum
Learning is the purpose of going to school, but if it can be fun, it makes kids want to come and see what’s up next. In this role you’ll partner with teachers to seek out and coordinate fun presentations and assembly programs that enhance learning opportunities in and beyond the classroom. Help the PTO Secretary to showcase what we've done! May also help to find and apply for relevant grants, if applicable.
