Current Volunteer Opportunities
We are in need of volunteers for various services we provide to the schools.
- Laminating Projects- you make your own hours at the school. Training will be provided!
- Father/Daughter Dance in April
- Testing Snacks
IMMEDIATE OPENINGS:
- In search of a 4th/5th Grade building representative. Duties include updating the bulletin board, coordinating test snacks, being the liaison between the PTSA and the 4th/5th grade office.
- Mrs. Lynne Erdle is requesting the assistance of two parents in finding a new Assistant Superintendent for Instruction. The parents would need to be available for 3 meetings in March and April. If you are interested, please let us know by February 29th.
There are many other ways to help, and new ideas and faces are always welcome! Send an email to canandaiguaPTSA@gmail.com if you are interested in hearing more.
Event Chairs needed!
We have several events that are in need of new chairs and co-chairs. Running an event is a fun way to get involved and bring your ideas to life! It's even more fun with a friend. The following events are in need of help:
- Mother/Son night chairperson: Traditionally held in the fall, but set the date when it works for you! This is a great event that brings in many families to spend quality time together, as well as raising funds for PTSA. Use our past "minute to win it" and craft format entirely, as a jumping off point, or add your own spin to things.
- Square 1 Art: This is a terrific fundraiser for the art department. All profits go directly to putting new technology and supplies into our kids' art rooms. We are currently looking for a Middle School Chairperson and a PES co-chair to help this fundraiser run smoothly.
- Coupon Book Sale co-chair: This is our main fundraiser that provides the vast majority of our funds for the school year. Every dollar we raise goes directly to our children and school. We are looking for somebody to co-chair this vital fundraiser. Duties would include distributing coupon books to students UPK-5, collecting returns and orders, and record keeping. This fundraiser takes place mid-September and goes until early October.
