Volunteer With Wyngate PTA
We know that you’re busy, but by sharing just a bit of your time and talents, you will make Wyngate Elementary a more vibrant and welcoming community. Without your involvement, the PTA cannot continue to provide the resources and events that make Wyngate so wonderful. Just fill out this quick survey to let us know how you would like to be involved. There are lots of options–daytime or evening; one-time or ongoing committees; leadership roles or helpers.
PTA Committees
Staff Appreciation: A group of volunteers who work with school leadership and help share our appreciation for Wyngate’s staff! There are four main committee activities: ordering staff lunches 4 times a year, coordinating pie donations for Thanksgiving, supporting kindergarten orientation, and leading Staff Appreciation Week in May.
WE Cares: A group of volunteers who help Wyngate Elementary give back to our community through events like the school supplies drives, Thanksgiving food drive, and winter clothing drive.
Lost and Found: When kids lose their water bottles, coats, and books, these volunteers help corral the items so they can be found again.
Garden: Help Wyngate’s gardens grow and help the Wyngate community celebrate Earth Day!
Book Fair: Wyngate loves the annual Scholastic Book Fair! Volunteers help plan, set up, and staff the weeklong book fair.
