VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!

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

We have volunteer opportunities for parents to help in every manner and time capacity. Don’t think that helping out with the PTA is a full-time job – 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. Take a look: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyUmGzqufJgV9xJucpkRj97GfUzx6ud8ndQ0gdLzh5nTxnLQ/viewform

For 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.
