Thank you for your interest in volunteering.

Staff Appreciation
- Staff Appreciation is a committee that plans special ways to pamper our
teachers and staff. We host monthly
luncheons at South Elementary; parents are invited to contribute a donation
like a side dish, a salad, a dessert or another item. This committee also organizes special treats
in December for the holidays and plans an end of the year meal where all staff
can dine together and reflect on the school year’s successes.
PTSO volunteers would:
•
donate food/drinks for luncheons, craft supplies
for projects, etc
•
help set up luncheons
•
help clean up luncheons
•
help assemble crafts
Fall Fair - Fall Fair transforms South into a fun
carnival atmosphere for the night. While
PTSO does raise a little money from it, the goal is to provide a family
friendly night of games and contests that both children and parents can
participate in. Upwards of 20 games fill
the classrooms, while a basket raffle lures attendees to purchase more tickets
to increase chances of winning! It is a
fun night that kids of all ages look forward to.
PTSO volunteers would:
•
Help secure and collect community donations
•
Help with food for the evening - pizza, drinks,
concessions
•
Help assemble raffle baskets - accomplished
during school hours

Box Tops -
Parents send in box tops to their child’s teacher and they give them to
PTSO. We are responsible for counting
them and confirming all are within date.
The are packaged and submitted in October and in February. Box Tops then mails us a check for the
proceeds. Each box top is worth $0.10
and PTSO has collected between $1200-$1500 yearly.
PTSO volunteers would:
•
Confirm the box tops are within date and count
them. This is an excellent way to serve
from home.

long sleeve shirts, hoodies and magnets.
