Summer Volunteer Opportunities & Events

2022-2023 PTA Roles and Volunteer Opportunities

Supporting the View Ridge Elementary School community starts with supporting our PTA. We are looking for volunteers — in whatever capacity — whether it is a leadership position or a occasional volunteer.

Whether you are interested in advocating for public schools at the state level, supporting families in need in our community, or helping a school-wide event, we are happy to have you join us.

We understand that we all have different access and capacity, but we encourage you to get involved in the school community to help foster and support our community.

July and August Events

Beautification Committee

All are welcome – Kids, community partners, neighbors, and more!

We’ll be weeding, picking up litter, clearing beds in the children’s garden, and getting the campus ready for the first day of school. Please bring gloves, any tools, and shovels available.

Garden and Watering

SPS has 5 gardeners for 35 schools. Most of the time, they don’t have the time to do any work outside of mowing and trimming.

Are you around this summer? Role Modeling Community Service is the key to helping develop our kiddos into thoughtful stewards of the environment, community and leadership.

Come support our community-supported effort on keeping our trees watered and our school grounds clean.

It takes a village to support our After School Enrichment. Right now, we are currently looking for 4-10 Adult Volunteers to support our after school entrichment.

What does that entail? Making sure that kids get to the right classes or have an adult pick them up after the vendors are done.

We have After School Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but we need a community of adults to support with check in and administration.

Can you help?

Support the Yearbook Committee! We need volunteer photographers and people who can do some layout work.

Contact Chair Jen Beaverson to help!
