Current Opportunities
Why Should You Volunteer?As a volunteer, not only are you helping out your child's school in a tremendous way, you are also showing your children that you are invested in their experience and education. You are also setting the bar on community involvement and being a first hand example to your child and other children on how to be present and helpful in their community.
Check out this article by "Kids Health" on the benefits your child will experience and how to make sure you not only get the most out of volunteering, but how to make sure it works within your schedule. |

Volunteer and help make OSE a great place to learn!
The start of school is right around the corner and as we bring in this new year, we need to think about all there is to offer in the 2019-2020 school year here at Olde Sawmill Elementary! We have so many wonderful programs, we have a dedicated staff and involved parents and it’s time to prepare for another great year.
Parent involvement has been proven to positively affect the success of a child’s education, as well as the excellence of the school. Please read through the list of volunteer positions on the back and consider getting involved where you’re most interested. There are ways for every parent to be involved and all help is appreciated and welcomed!
The volunteer opportunities are divided into categories based on when the volunteering usually happens. For example, our Ice Cream Social happens in the evening and the planning and preparing for it, can happen in the evenings or on weekends, so this would be a good place to volunteer for parents who work during the day. Volunteering in the school store occurs during the school day and is better suited for a parent who is available during lunch hours, or a parent who can be available on a regular schedule during that time (i.e. every Tuesday or the 1st Tuesday of every month during lunches). We have listed on the attached page event committees we have had in the past. If you'd like to be on the committee to help plan an event, please return the volunteer form with your name and the event you are interested in. If we do not get enough interest for an event committee, events may have to be cancelled. All positions can be served by two people; for example: Co-Vice Presidents, Co-Committee Chairs, etc., so grab a friend and help out together!
If you are new to PTO, we have plenty of helpful members who are happy to answer any questions about the different committees, programs and events. Join us at our meetings held on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7 pm in the OSE Library to find out more and help celebrate another terrific year at OSE.
We’re looking forward to working with you!
