Volunteer Opportunities

“Volunteers are not paid- not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.”  Author unknown.      

The Newcastle Elementary PTSA depends on volunteers like you to be able to provide our events, services, and programs to students, teachers and families through-out the school year.  We encourage every parent to volunteer, whether you have many hours to give or just a few.  You will find information about volunteer opportunities through:

• The Volunteer Opportunities Form which comes home in the first school day packets.  This form describes volunteer opportunities anticipated through-out the year.  You simply mark those volunteer activities that you think you can help with and send the form back to school with your child.  The information from this form is provided to the chairpersons of the various committees.   

• The weekly school & PTSA newsletter, PTSA Cub Mail E-news, and room parent E-mails.  Through-out the year, as volunteer needs are identified for PTSA programs & events, requests will be sent out through the newsletter and e-mails. 

• Program Chairs. If you know of a PTSA program that interests you, please contact the program chairperson directly for more information on how you can help out.  

Remember that parents & guardians, relatives including grandparents, and community members are all welcome to volunteer to help.  If you need help identifying a good volunteer opportunity for your schedule or interests, or if you just need more information about current volunteer opportunities, please contact Lynne Hepp at thehepps4@msn.com .
