Volunteer Opportunities

Most of these volunteer opportunities can be done from the comfort of your own home! Perfect for those with busy schedules!

• Box Tops Team - Clip, trim, count, and bag Box Tops. These only get sent off 2 times a year! We have a system that will make it easy.

• Sponsorship/Donation Request Team - Do you love speaking with people? Do you have a knack for writing? Together, a team can reach out to local businesses for sponsorships and donations for our events.

• Grant Writing Team - Grants are out there! Do you love to research, or perhaps write grants? Let's find some grants and hopefully get some new items for our Wildcats!

• Dining 4 Dollars - We are bringing back Spirit Nights - or Restuarant Nights as some may call them. A lot of the leg work has been started, but we need help pushing us past the finish line and into the restaurant doors!

• Krispy Kreme Virtual Fundraiser - This is all from the comfort of your own home. Work with our Graphics/Communication Committee and our Fundraising Committee to sell the Krispy Kreme codes.

These are our planned fundraisers for the year. Signing up for this doesn't mean you are in charge of it all - we wouldn't do that to you! But each one does require a lot of hands on deck. Some of these things can be done from home, after-hours, or may be on site (we also have to see how the year goes). Collectively we can pull them off!

• Calendar Fundraiser (September) - no goods to sell, just a team to keep track of student progress, and distributing prizes! Sign up to also help us plan logistics.

• Admin Assistant for 1/2 Day (October & April) - Super simple raffle for students to win a chance at hanging out with a member of the Admin team for 1/2 day and learning what they do.

• Mascot-Stuffing (November) - In conjunction with a Family Fun Night, Wildcats will get to stuff an animal "Build-a-Bear" style! This team will research, plan, order supplies and pull off an amazing night! Again - some parts can be done from home with minimal time!

• Holiday Shop (December) - We have our fingers crossed we can hold one this year! If we do, we need volunteers each day to help students shop, wrap gifts, run the cash register and restock. This team even has availability for evening volunteer time as we restock smaller items from the stores. Set-Up and Tear-Down help are always needed too!

• Penny Wars (January) - This simple fundraiser requires none other than a couple of volunteers lugging containers of coins to the bank, sharing the tallies, and working with the communications team to get the information out there and students pumped!

• Valentine Grams (February) - Special Spirit Sticks will be available for Valentine's. This team will plan, advertise (working with Graphic/Communication Team), package, and distribute grams.

• Wildcat Showcase (March) - Half Fundraiser/Half Family Fun Night! Participation was low last year, so unfortunately it was canceled. But that isn't going to stop us! We have medals...we have ribbons....we have Wildcat Talent!! Join the Team and see what part you would be a fit for!

• Egg My Yard (April) - Ready for a fun Spring Treat? This team will plan, advertise, get registrations, order supplies, and gather volunteers to distribute candy/treat-filled eggs to Wildcat homes. So hop on over and join the team!

Alright...so we raised money and now what?

Did you know that the giant shade on the big playground was purchased and installed by the PTA? The PTA has purchased curriculum, radios for additional school safety, funded the Third Grade Play, hosted Space Nights, Boo-Thru, Holiday Shop, Art Contests, Field Day bounce houses, and more! See below on ways to help with our Family Fun Nights!

• Back-to-School Bash (August - tentative!) - What better way to celebrate being back-to-school than with bounce houses, popsicles, and balloon animals! (Please note - this event is awaiting district approval).

• Boo-Thru (October) - Last year was SPOOKTACULAR and this year will be even more amazing. From hosting a trunk, to gathering donations, and coordinating with community partners, we have a place for you to volunteer!

• BinGlo Night/Mascot Stuffing w/Dinner (November) - What's better than Bingo? BinGLO! Help us put on a fantastic event and work alongside the Mascot-Stuffing Team!

• Painting Night w/Dinner (February) - Let's make a mess! This team will take registrations, order supplies, put together kits, and run this fun evening of following along with an artist as each Wildcat creates their own masterpiece.

• Wildcat Showcase (March) - Half Fundraiser/Half Family Fun Night! Participation was low last year, so unfortunately it was canceled. But that isn't going to stop us! We have medals...we have ribbons....we have Wildcat Talent!! Join the Team and see what part you would be a fit for!

It takes a lot of volunteer hours collectively to make the year a success. Remember, PTA is not just about fun times, bake sales, and spirit wear. PTA is designed to be the voice for children. We are here to advocate for our students - whether we are parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, community members, teachers, administration, staff, siblings - we all want what is best for our Wildcat students. We all want to see them succeed and to feel heard in today's world!

• PTA Executive Committee (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary) - We are always open for "Elect" positions, and currently are looking for a Vice-President and Treasurer.

• Membership Team - Work closely with the Executive Committee and our Teacher Liasion, Mrs. Randi Edenfield to reach families and staff. Create a plan for incentives, track gifts, donations, and memberships. Heavy on the time at the beginning of the year, and minimal involvement throughout the year during events.

• Fundraising Team - Work with the PTA Board to plan fundraisers and come up with ideas for the next year. Ongoing involvement, with a slightly higher load during fundraising times. Each fundraiser has its own specific committee you will oversee.

• Graphics/Communication Team - Do you love to create? Are you great at communication? This year we are utilizing Remind, have an email list, a digital flyer, twice-yearly paper flyer, our Facebook, and anything else you want to throw our way! This team will share our Canva non-profit account to create graphics and will work closely with each committee that requests assistance for creating their flyers.

• Budget Committee - Each year, the budget committee puts together a budget that takes into account the previous years' numbers and projects the next year's budget. This team will meet in March to create the 2022-2023 budget and will present it to the Executive Committee and Board prior to voting in April. Minimal time commitment.

• Nomination Committee - This team gathers names and researches nominations for the Executive Committee for the 2022-2023 school year. They present names to the Board prior to the election in April. Minimal time commitment.

• Financial Review Committee - This team of 2 reviews all the financial books of the PTA. Upon review, they complete two forms, present their findings to the Board, and the books close for the year. This happens in July of 2022. Minimal time commitment.

Oh, I bet you thought we were done! Almost, I promise! We have just a few more teams we need help with!

• PTA Spirit Store Volunteer - When the store is open - we need help!

• Passive Fundraising Team - These are simple fundraisers. This team is responsible for reminding families to sign up for AmazonSmile, Krogers, Lowes, etc. The team is encouraged to seek out more passive fundraising ideas to present to the Board.

• Spirit Sticks Team - We are so excited for this new program! This team will track inventory, create orders, work with the Valentine Gram Team and Birthday Gram Team to fulfill orders, and overall will just have FUN as we create this new program!

• Spirit Wear Team - We are taking a much simpler approach this year, but we still have new avenues to pursue. We have lessened the load for our volunteers but making our new spirit wear like shirts/hoodies go directly from vendor to buyer! But that's just clothing! Work as a team to bring new items to our Square Store!

• Playground Improvement Team - The PTA worked hard last year to remove old, dangerous equipment like the 2 domes and a broken swing set, while simultaneously installing a 20'x30' shade! We still have work to do. This team will work alongside the PTA Board to create a plan of action for improvement!

• Birthday Bundle - Here's a fun way to celebrate a Wildcat birthday! Several options are available for purchase. The Birthday Team will coordinate orders with the Spirit Sticks Team and bundle the fun surprises for distribution at the. At a minimum, each Birthday Bundle will contain a special Happy Birthday/Feliz Cumpleanos Spirit Stick and Happy Birthday Smencil.
