Volunteers

 There are so many ways to get involved in the PTSA!

At every event and fundraiser we need moms and dads to step up and help carry the load.
There are eight Board members this year, and each one is as busy as the next parent at Standiford.   Help us maintain our sanity by coming alongside us and helping with your creativity, your commitment and your hard work

Examples of some volunteer job descriptions:
  • Become a Room Parent
  • Selling concessions/food at events like Movie Nights, the Carnival, the Talent Show and Hang out with Dad/Mom. (Time commitment: half an hour before the event until the event is over, 1-4 hours total)

Whatever you are able to do, every parent who gets involved will add their unique ideas and abilities to the events and will make them better for everyone who attends!  So, thank you in advance for being a part of making Standiford school the best school in Sylvan school district!
