Interested in helping with the PTA next school year? We have several volunteer positions and we are looking for a few good people to help us with key roles.
Enrichment Chair (board-level position)
Before and after school classes are an important part of school life for Woodburn students and families. They allow students to try out new activities, offer convenience for parents, and give students a chance to participate in activities with friends. The enrichment chair will be in charge of identifying potential classes, obtaining approval for them, helping with publicity, and monitoring registrations. The chair will also oversee the quality of the classes and help to resolve any issues that arise. This position requires approximately 3-4 hours per week most weeks of the school year, but may be less once sessions are running.
Reflections Coordinator
Reflections is an annual art contest sponsored by the National PTA and coordinated by our local school PTA. It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their creative potential and unleash their artistic talents! We are looking for someone to coordinate Reflections in 2019. This work takes place from September to December and includes scheduling 1-2 art workshops to introduce the contest and work with interested students on their projects. The coordinator will collect and submit Woodburn’s entries to the County Council PTA and recognize participants and winners. We estimate this volunteer position will require about 20 hours over the three-month period.
Teacher Appreciation Coordinator
One of the most important tasks the PTA undertakes throughout the school year is teacher recognition. The coordinator plans and carries out teacher recognition events, including the teacher welcome breakfast in September, holiday event in December, and teacher appreciation week in May. The chair will work with the PTA president to develop event descriptions, identify volunteers, set up a sign-up genius, and then manage volunteers and the activities during the events. We estimate this volunteer position will require about 20 hours over the year.
Community Business Donation’s Team
This past year many businesses in our community supported Woodburn through donations. Gift cards for volunteers and teacher appreciation, food donations for PTA meetings, and event sponsorships—are a vital part of school and PTA resources. This volunteer role is perfect for parents who do not have much time out of the house or office but can send email requests and follow up. The PTA VP will provide guidance on who to contact as well as request and thank you letter templates. The time commitment required for this volunteer position will vary and be self-directed – you decided how much time each month you can dedicate to soliciting donations.
If you are interested in any of these Volunteer positions, please contact Laura Wright, PTA President at president@woodburnpta.com
