Other Opportunities
There are more ways to help—see some options below!
On-Call Volunteer List
Add your name to a list of folks who are on-call for special projects or when extra hands are needed. We'll email this list first when we need a hand. Examples include sorting school supply kits, ice cream social helpers, etc.
Grant's District Parent Organization (DPO) Representative
One individual attends monthly lunch-hour meetings (lunch provided!) of the DPO and reports back to the Grant PTO at the general membership meetings. Meetings are held at a different district school each month.
Optimist Club Flag Route
This is a family activity where parents and kids help deliver and place American flags for 5 designated holidays: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veteran's Day. Volunteers also collect the flags at the end of the day. PTO receives half of the proceeds for flag routes we maintain. Volunteers share a route(s) with other team members so the time commitment is flexible.
Volunteer specific skills or talents
Our PTO has a need for individuals with specific skills to help plan and pull off our initiatives throughout the year. Let us know if you have any of the below skills by checking the box, or fill in a different skill in the 'Other' line at bottom.
