VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!

When adults volunteer, all students benefit! Ā Your help is needed! Ā 

We have volunteer opportunities for parents to help in every manner and time capacity. Donā€™t think that helping out with the PTA is a full-time job ā€“ many folks donate an hour or two a year, while others want to dig into the trenches.

There is space for everyone! From volunteering for a shift at the spring carnival to signing up as a lunch helper, from painting the spirit rock to dropping off muffins for a teacher breakfast, there are many ways that you can help support our students and teachers.

Click here to sign-up for a volunteer opportunity:https://gaytonpta.membershiptoolkit.com/sign_ups

We are also looking to fill a few more Committee Chair positions.Ā Take a look: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyUmGzqufJgV9xJucpkRj97GfUzx6ud8ndQ0gdLzh5nTxnLQ/viewform

ForĀ questions, please contact Jolene Giandomenico at gaytonvolunteers@gmail.com

Please note that all parents who volunteer MUST have submitted a HCPS electronic volunteer form. The form must renewed every school year.Ā
