Parents are invited to come have coffee and light food provided at a designated location. Make signs, get invite in Facebook groups and Eblast to parents. Secure donated coffee and food or work within the allocated budget. Recruit board or other veteran parents to help at the bell when the kids go to class.

Boo Bash – October Halloween (Fall) Festival

Book Fair - The Book Fair chairperson coordinates with Scholastic and the school to schedule and run the annual Book Fair.  Duties include advertising the event, organizing the set-up and tear-down of the fair, providing teacher previews, setting the fair times and staffing it with volunteers, purchasing and delivering classroom books with donated funds, completing financial reports, and reporting details to the PTA board.  The vast majority of the work is completed in a two-week period at the beginning of the school year.  A co-chairperson is highly recommended.

Breakfast with Buddies

Burbank Arts for All - Attend monthly meetings if you can and report to Board and Association. Involvement in activities if any.


Field Trips

Pirates Patch Garden - Oversee all functional matters concerning the garden.  We are responsible for keeping it open to students one day per week for garden “free time”.  Additionally, EnrichLA will be implementing their educational program with the students one day per week, most likely on Mondays.  We act as liaisons between EnrichLA and the PTA Executive board for any information that needs to be exchanged between those two entities.  It is our position to ensure that EnrichLA and the garden itself have the resources required to function and flourish.  It is also our position to relay any concerns or requests between the school, the PTA Executive board, the garden volunteer base, and the room reps and teachers who undertake participation in the EnrichLA educational program. We coordinate an adequate volunteer participation to keep the garden up and running during the school year and summer months.

Honorary Service Awards - Distribute nomination forms, work with committee to pick five volunteers etc. for awards. Awards presented at Association meeting.

Hospitality - Provides light snacks and drinks for PTA Association Meetings and possibly other small events based on budget.

Kindness Committee - This chairperson is responsible for carrying out the Kindness Activities each month, and creating a kind, positive and cooperative vibe on campus. The activities may consist of lunch-time activities for grades K-5, and some months the Kindness activity will be put in each student’s cubby to be taken home to work on with their families.  Some activities will also work in conjunction with other monthly themes at school (for example, a Kindness craft during the Valentine’s Day party, the pajama drive in December, etc.).  The Buddy Benches on our campus are a part of this campaign, so chairperson should inspect the benches periodically and report any repairs, or wear and tear so that they may be repaired and/or replaced if needed.
Chairperson is also responsible for putting together the committee and encouraging parent-volunteers to assist with the Activities.
