Taylor Elementary PTA Volunteer Form- 2024-2025 School Year
One of the reasons that Taylor is such a fantastic school is the high level of community involvement. Volunteering is a fun way to make new friends, learn more about the school, and invest in your child’s future. Everyone in the community has something to offer and we welcome any contribution of time you can offer.

In this document, you’ll find a short summary for each significant volunteer opportunity.

If you are interested in chairing, co-chairing, or helping with a community event this academic year, please complete the online volunteer form. This is the most efficient way for the PTA to gather your volunteer area of interest and distribute the information quickly to the appropriate committee chair or contact.

Please note, Oak Grove School District requires volunteers who are at the school more than 8 hours in the academic year, who will have contact with students outside the presence of a teacher or certified staff member (even briefly), or who is going to be a chaperone for a field trip to be cleared through the district. You can find the volunteer requirements on the Oak Grove School District website.

If you have any questions, please contact the Volunteer Coordinators at berthataylorparents@gmail.com

Classroom Auction Basket Maker
As part of our family dance, we will be bringing back our classroom basket auction. We need basket makers in order for this important fundraiser to be successful. This role includes making a classroom basket wishlist based on the theme that your teacher selects, collect the items from the teacher or be willing to have parents ship items directly to your home, itemize the basket and estimate the value, take photos of all items in the basket for the website, and put the basket together.
Taylor Olympics
Taylor Olympics consist of three days of events, where all Taylor students are invited to enjoy outdoor activities and competition, while learning about the history of the Olympics and their designated country. We need a lot of volunteers for set-up, clean-up, and to run the stations. Shifts are as short as one hour and 15 mins, and you are welcome to sign-up to help when your student will be competing! Visitors will not be allowed on campus unless volunteering. We'd love as much help as we can get to help make this an awesome event.
