Every year as families move on, the PTO is in need of volunteers to fill vacancies in many of our programs. Please consider volunteering to help lead one of the following:
Spirit Wear Sales
Coordinate the sale of Burr Wear at events such as the Back to School Picnic, May Fair, etc. Keep track of the current Burr Wear inventory and make recommendations for ordering new inventory as necessary.
Understanding Our Differences
UOD school coordinators organize the units regarding understanding and inclusion of people with disabilities. Units occur once monthly in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. There are usually 7-8 units per year. Coordinating duties include scheduling the speaker for each unit from a list of approved speakers, gathering care giver or parent volunteers and providing volunteers scripts and materials for the break out activity sessions. Coordinators may also introduce units and present activities when necessary.
Sleep Under
Collaborate with the Burr Staff to plan a babysitting/movie night hosted by the Burr staff. Publicize the event, coordinate ticket sales, purchase necessary supplies, and coordinate a small number of volunteers for event set-up.
Book Swap
Coordinate the donation of books from each classroom prior to the book swap. Solicit volunteers to organize books prior to the event and to help on the day of the event. Coordinate with teachers regarding schedules on the day of the event. Coordinate the donation of leftover books to charity following the event.
Green Team - Help solicit and organize grade level volunteers to initiate green projects and awareness at each grade level.
Safe Routes to School- Attend city-wide "Safe Routes to School" events. Organize/publicize events such as International Walk to School Day.
