Committees

The Book Fair Chair(s) help bring the magic of reading to Taunton! We host a Scholastic Book Fair three times a year—in October, March, and June. Chairs help coordinate the fair, work with Scholastic, set up and decorate, schedule volunteers, and assist students as they find books they’ll love.

Volunteers are needed during the school day to help students select and purchase books. Each fair also includes a Family Shopping Night, giving families an opportunity to shop together—including siblings who may not attend Taunton.

Funds raised through the Book Fair help provide a book for every child and support the Maker Space, Reading and Book Rooms, classroom needs, and Read Across America Week.

Help make a difference for families in our Taunton community by helping keep the Sharing Closet stocked! Donations are collected on the first Friday of each month and help provide essential items to families who may be in need.

Volunteers can help collect, organize, and stock donations, making sure the Sharing Closet remains a welcoming and accessible resource for our school community.

Once a month, our Eagles get to visit the School Store during their lunch period and shop for fun, affordable items such as pencils, erasers, 3D Printed items, and more!

Volunteers help set up the store, assist students with their purchases, and keep things running smoothly. It’s a fun way to spend a lunch period with our students and help make their school day a little more special.

Do you have a 5th grader this year? The 5th Grade Committee is made up of parents who work together to make their child’s final year at Taunton extra special!

Committee members help plan and organize fundraising activities throughout the year to support 5th grade experiences, including trips, the yearbook, the 5th grade basketball team, and end-of-year gifts and celebrations.

Whether you have time to help with fundraising, planning, or volunteering at events, there are many ways to get involved and make this a memorable year for our graduating Eagles!

Spirit Nights bring our school community together while supporting the PTA! Throughout the year, we partner with local restaurants and businesses to host fun, family-friendly events where a portion of sales is donated back to Taunton PTA.

Committee members help identify and coordinate participating businesses, schedule events, promote each Spirit Night to families, and communicate with our business partners. It’s a fun and flexible way to support the PTA, connect with local businesses, and build school spirit—while enjoying a night out with your family!

The Fundraising Committee helps plan, organize, and support the PTA’s fundraising efforts throughout the school year. Members may help brainstorm and coordinate fundraisers, promote them to families, assist with organizing materials and orders, and help with setup, distribution, or other tasks as needed. This is a great way to support the PTA without requiring a large ongoing time commitment.

The Plant Sale Committee helps organize and run the PTA’s annual plant sale. Members may assist with coordinating the sale, organizing and distributing plants, preparing orders, communicating with families, and helping with setup, pickup, and cleanup. It’s a great way to support the PTA while helping bring a little springtime fun to our school community. 

The PTA hosts a Holiday Shop where students can purchase holiday gifts for family members and friends. Committee members help organize the shop and assist students as they shop for the perfect gifts. Funds raised through the Holiday Shop help support the many Cultural Arts Assemblies held throughout the school year. 

The Beautification Committee helps keep our school grounds welcoming, beautiful, and full of school pride! Members may help plant flowers and greenery, maintain outdoor spaces, and coordinate or participate in projects that brighten and improve our campus. It’s a hands-on way to make a visible difference and create a welcoming environment for students, staff, and families to enjoy.
