VOLUNTEERING TIPSTo date we've had 252 volunteers sign up to donate their time to Maple Hills PTA events, including recurring events and programs like Art Docents, Watch DOGs, Popcorn Fridays, Eagle Reader, Board and General Membership Meetings. Additionally volunteers have helped build out our Maple Hills PTA Directory, bake and cook food items for Staff Potlucks, and conduct Financial Reviews - to name a few. We want to THANK YOU for everything that each of you continue to do for the Maple Hills children, families, staff and community, as we cannot run on any of these events or programs without your hard work and dedication.Over the next couple months, we will continue to stay busy with the Variety Show, STEM week and Science Fair, Maple Hill Auction, and more (see volunteer opportunities and calendar of events). To help make these events successful and as a great reminder going into the second half of the school year, please take a look and openly share our Volunteer Tips highlighting great tips, reminders and school procedure in order to maximize your experience of being a volunteer. Any questions or feedback, please send to Jenette Purugganan (president@maplehillspta.com) or Nadia Goodman (volunteers@maplehillspta.com). At Maple Hills, we LOVE our volunteers! Parent and community volunteers have an important and valuable role in supporting many of the programs and events that take place throughout the year... Whether you volunteer for one hour or one hundred hours over the year, any help you give is essential to the education of our students and our school community. We appreciate you so much!
Some volunteers may assist in the classroom with instructional or clerical tasks. Others may help shelve books in the library, chaperone field trips, work with the PTA on fundraisers and events, or take-home items to work on. By volunteering, our community assumes a shared approach to education in which parents/guardians, citizens, and community groups work together with our educators. You are a part of our Education Team. Following these helpful tips ensures that your volunteer experience is a rewarding one.
The following is a list of some do’s and don’ts that will help make both your experience as well as your time more impactful while volunteering.
