We need your new ideas and energy and we'll provide support so you're  not alone.  Here are some great opportunities we could use support:

  • Art Docent Support: we're looking for one more Art Docent to help Paula lead this vital program
  • FACE Chair: help us welcome new families to Barton and answer some of those questions we all had when getting started
  • Pantry Packs Chair: work with the school counselor to help pick up Pantry Packs and bring to the elementary school. Confidentiality and ability to transport items required. Reach out to our President if you are interested.  This would be a good shared position

Volunteer Roles & Descriptions

PTSA Board Members

Board Members have a variety of responsibilities.  Based on feedback from Members and School Staff, the Board proposes the budget, event, and programs for the year.  The Board then helps make sure Chairs and Committees have what they need to successfully execute their mission.  Board Members attend meetings once a month.

Volunteer for 1-3 hours at one of our events and perform a specific assigned task.  Some examples are selling concessions at Bingo Night, running a bubble station at the Fun Run, setting up tables for STEM Night or taking pictures at an event for Yearbook.

 

 

Classroom Volunteers

Art Docent: The Art Docent program will continue as it has in the past. Lesson plans, materials, and a virtual or in-person training session will be provided. This is a great way to get to know your student's teacher and classmates. Students love art docent volunteers! No previous art training/experience is required.

 

Room Parent: Room Parents will work together to plan Fall, Valentine, and End of Year Celebrations for a class. The Fall celebration this year, for example, will be an all-school Fall Festival during the school day.
