Join the PTO!
We're currently seeking additional board members for standalone or co-positions for the 2021-22 school year. Take a look at the position descriptions below-- if something aligns with your interests or talents, please let us know!
We also need volunteers to help execute a number of community activities and fundraising initiatives throughout the year! Visit our Signup.com page to see a list of volunteer opportunities and let us know how you are able to help.
Co-President
LEADER OF THE PACK
Are you a creative problem-solver who is comfortable talking to executives but not afraid to get down in the dirt? Can you delegate a to-do lists and keep people focused on the plan (instead of chit-chatting about the kids or the latest binge-worthy Netflix show), all while making them think it was their own idea? Do you have a wicked sense of humor and know how to say “no” without provoking a tantrum? Then WE WANT YOU! Come ready to play a substantial roll in in supporting our school, and making our kids’ years at Center School AMAZING!!
Co-VP, Fundraising
TEAM CHEERLEADER
Our parent group does a lot more than fundraising, but let’s face it, without fundraising, we wouldn’t be able to do much. We need upbeat, detail-oriented parents to coordinate our fundraising efforts. Think of it like the “Chief Room Parent”! Motivate students and parents to participate in themed events, connect with the community to partner and contribute to our plans, and think on your feet to handle last-minute surprises without totally freaking out (like product deliveries getting delayed by freak weather and shipping crises… but what’s the chance of that happening… again? Right?)
Co-VP, Volunteers
COMMUNITY BUILDER
Are you a people person who isn’t afraid to strike up a conversation with a stranger? We need someone who can coordinate and recruit helpers for all the programs and events that our PTO sponsors. If you are enthusiastic (without being high pressure) and understanding of parents’ many time constraints, raise your hand and help us build teams to do even more great things for our school! It’s especially good if you can help parents find the best way to plug into our school community – let the Bakers Bake, and let the Shakers Shake, and help our volunteers bring all our Pinterest Dreams to life!
Co-Secretary
FACTFINDER
Be honest – you’re the one in your friend book who filled out every page of your child’s baby book… at the right time, no less!! If you’re the kind of person who documents everything, from your toddler’s first steps to how far you jogged yesterday, we have the perfect role for your. You’ll get to put your stellar record-keeping skills and attention to detail to good use as our PTO Secretary. You must have good listening and computer skills – and extra credit if you can follow what’s on TV and play Candy Crush at the same time!!
Co-Secretary
PUBLICITY GURU
So much to keep up with! Between School calendars, community activities, picture days, and keeping parents informed, we need someone to connect it all! Are you a social media whiz with strong attention to detail? Always looking for ways to jazz up the local blog and make news cool again? We could use your help. It’s only fun when everyone knows what’s going on. After all, we could all use more likes and followers! We could use some help managing our website and social media, and creating awesome graphics to keep the buzz on about all the cool stuff we do for the kids and the community!
Enrichment Coordinator
ADVENTURE GUIDE
Learning is the purpose of going to school, but if it can be fun, too, it makes kids want to come in and see what’s up next. Without the “little extras” students might not have such awesome memories of their time at our school. As our resident adventure guide, you will partner with our teachers to seek out and coordinate fun presentations and assembly programs that enhance learning opportunities in and beyond the classroom. In effect, you are the chief room parent! If you love to take family sightseeing trips on a tight budget, love planning events that connect our community, and can’t wait to discover little known local resources you can share with like-minded parent peeps, then this has your name written all over it!
Meetings
Get the scoop on what’s going on! Our meetings have details for upcoming events and fundraisers, as well as updates from the School Committee, Principals and Teachers. We encourage all parents and caregivers to make time in their schedules to join us. Virtual attendance will be an option.
