How You Can Help
Volunteering is a great way to support your child's school experience and get to know teachers, staff, and fellow parents. Whether you you can help during the school day or prefer to contribute outside of school hours; whether you can commit to ongoing participation or prefer to help with specific events or initiatives, we have opportunities for you.
We will publicize volunteer opportunities here and via our social media pages.
Each month, we're looking for a volunteer to host a food drive for Lufkin's new food pantry. As a host, you'll collect items from our Needs List, either on your own or by engaging your network (neighborhood, workplace, church, or other groups). Find out more: bit.ly/LufkinFoodDrive
Our students love their grade-level socials, and we need adult volunteers to make them happen! Lend a hand, and see the joy for yourself. Sign up here: bit.ly/LufkinSocialSignup
Got a steady hand (or just big school spirit)? Help paint the Lightning Bolt Walk of Fame! Contact PTA Secretary Julie Chase: LufkinPTAsecretary@gmail.com.
Give our teachers the gift of free time! The Cafeteria Crew covers lunch duty a few times a year so that teachers can take time during the day to eat, decompress, and come back to class fresh and ready to teach. Sign up: bit.ly/cafcrew
BOLTS Cart is the school’s student-recognition system, celebrating students’ positive choices. Sign up for a shift — you can sign up just once or a few times throughout the semester. https://bit.ly/BOLTScart
Help spread the word about PTA programs and volunteer opportunities. To sign up, email PTA Comms.
Wake County requires all volunteers to pass this background check: myvolunteer.com/wcpss/volunteer/login
Please complete this as soon as possible so that you're able to participate.
