Calendar & Volunteer Opportunities
Our Committees
Teacher Appreciation
During teacher appreciation week the PTO provides tokens of appreciation to teachers. This could be anything from snacks to notes from students. We also provide dinner to teachers during parent teacher conferences.
Book Fairs
This committee is responsible for two Scholastic Book Fairs as well as our winter book shop. This committee needs a lead and help with volunteer recruitment, promotions, decoration planning, social media, and working the book events.
Catalog Fundraisers
This committee is responsible for managing and promoting fundraisers like Bobos and Butter Braids. This committee has a lead but could use help with distribution, collection, promotions, and packaging up goods to go home with students.
Treat Days
During special occasions throughout the year our Treat Day committee provides a special treat to each student at the ECC. We need new members to help with come up with ideas for treats, package them, and distribute them to classrooms (the teachers will then usually distribute them to students).
Spirit Wear
This is a joint effort with the Elementary PTO that runs our spirit wear store. We have a lead for this committee, but welcome additional committee members who can assist with inventory management, transporting or arranging transportation of inventory, and creative ideas.
Trivia Night
This is a joint effort with the Elementary PTO and is our largest event fundraiser. This year Trivia Night will happen on February 11th. We are looking for more people to help seek out donations for our silent auction and raffles as well as help prep the night before and day of the event making auction baskets, fliers that describe our auction items, and more.
