This is our two-hour holiday event in December, where families gather to make gingerbread houses. The chair will organize the pre-sale of kits and food, and coordinate a SignUpGenius to recruit volunteers to set up, assist at check in and distribute kits, and tear down.

Each November and March when teachers have conferences with parents, the chair of this committee organizes potluck dinners for the staff working late. A SignUpGenius is created to collect food donations, and a few people to help with set up and tear down at each supper. This requires a few hours of planning for meal ideas and soliciting help. 

This event in May runs similar to conference dinners. The first week of May we recognize all of our teachers and support staff with 1-3 themed lunches or small gift ideas to recognize the wonderful work that our teachers do.

This committee involves purchasing books with PTA funding, and approximately two hours per month distributing books to students during their birthday month over the lunch hour. 

This committee assists the chair in setting up, tearing down, running cash registers, and helping students prepare wish lists during book fair. There are two book fairs a year, in fall and spring, and they are each a week long. There are SignUpGeniuses for volunteering in two-hour time slots, and you can register for as many slots as you'd like. Sales at a fair generate "Scholastic Dollars," which are used to purchase books for the school and supports the books distributed through Birthday Books.

This committee assists the chair in collecting, sorting, clipping, and counting Box Tops. This can be organized over a group meeting at someone's home, or at school, or can be done at home in your free time. Dollars generated from Box Tops go into the General Fund to support many school activities and programs.
